Obviously the new fees won't affect me, (Scotland in my final year) but I believe that the U-turn by the lib dems will relegate the party to the fringes once again. I think Nick Clegg has seriously underestimated just how much distrust this will create towards politicians in general, not just his own party. The student vote will be lost but I can also see many other voters wondering if they should bother voting for the lib dems.

With regard to the actual fees, sure students won't start paying it off until they earn 21K but then the whole point of going to uni is to to come out with better qualifications, get a better job and hopefully start off earning a decent wage. It's a complete and utter farse especially considering that other parts of the UK, Europe and the World manage to get by without charging extortionate fees.

O and I couldn't help but laugh at the surprise of the police, PM and royals when the demonstrations got violent, perhaps they should have looked back at previous marches when unpopular laws policies were passed
