Dont get me wrong but...
How many stories have you read on this site proclaiming uni as an absolute doss where they got pissed for 3 yrs and didn't actually do any study? Am I wrong in thinking that most students attend 6-8 hours of lectures a week and then talk shite to each other eating pot noodles, sometimes simultaniously? Is it any wonder that the taxpayer really couldn't give a toss? If you want to take 3 yrs doing something that someone in an actual job could prob get done in 12 months, then yeah! Pay for it your fucking self! Stop thinking the world owes you, look at african and asian kids working 3 or 4 jobs to pay for an education in a useful subect, not media/wanking/the simpsons studies. There are ppl out there prepared to graft and those who are merely delaying the day they have to get a job. Let's see how the admission rate goes down now it has to be payed for!

Generally, I'd dispute the classification of subjects as being useful or not -
see my posts above on this. (There's a big difference between education and training; the university sector is - or ought to be - about the former before the latter.)

And while it may be true that the system is exploited by some, that's not an argument about the system. There'll still be the layabouts, subsidised by the Bank of Mum and Dad; the only difference is that kids from poorer backgrounds won't get the chance to be educated.
