If the fees going up stops people doing mickey mouse courses I agree with it, why waste 3 years of your life and get in debt over a degree that means sod all.
Sod all to you, perhaps. What one person think is useless is a career to someone else.
Labour devalued degrees so much that they are now virtually worthless.
Far too many were encouraged to go to Uni & do mickey mouse degrees to keep them off the unemployment figures.

It will also discourage people from entering vital professions such as teaching and medicine. A better step would be to cut such degrees entirely to enable the available funds to be better distributed, rather than just sticking the price up across the board.
Affordable - and useful - degrees benefit society as a whole.
Good. I hope they do more.
Triple money, **** off.
We wont be educated then, if that what they want.
Students can do no right. We do well in exams and the press say "Exams are getting easier", one teenager does something bad they say "All teens are yobs".
I have had enough with the discrimination.
I hope everyones bills triple, see how the "older generation" react. Ageist and Discriminating UK. It all makes sense.
I do NOT support violence BTW
I agree.. There are many people protesting peacefully, but just because there has been a small minority of students 'rioting' with police, we're all getting a bad press. I don't understand what 'older' people seem to have against students, we've done nothing wrong.:mad:

And anyone who doesnt want to become a doctor or lawyer should do what exactly? Give up on any dreams theyve harboured since a child?

Yep, watching BBC News, loads and loads of students with some humorous banners and that are chanting peacefully, but of course, everyone will focus on the negatives, even though its like 99% of good and 1% of bad literally speaking.
Convince me, then, rather than going for lame innuendo.
There is no way to convince someone that was not there, quite a lot of people at the protests know this sort of thing happens. But you know, anyway to make us look like fools.
Go to a protest and find out for yourself (if you are into that sort of thing + if your a student, which i doubt)
They only use the horses because they need to
There are lots of degrees that would make a CV look very silly.
And very few people actually take said degrees. People tend to focus on the less popular courses simply because it makes their arguement a bit stronger, however the fact is that most students are sitting worthwhile subjects which can result in job prospects. The problem is that there are no job prospects at the moment, and so people tend to try and emphisise the law/health/teaching side of things...ignoring that the prospects there are still quite bad.
They will be allowed to pay it back quicker if they want to
I'm with you on this. This country does need lots of people with degrees in Celebrity studies.
They won't be. Martin Wotzit from the Money programmes was saying that some parents would be getting regular loans rather than student ones because there is no facility to pay it off early. Once you get it, it's locks into your earnings at the rates set by the government.

The simple fact is that we have far too many people of average intelligence taking degrees. We should turn the clock back and go back to a sensible number of university students, The degrees would then mean something again
AND....We could afford to have free tuition again.

Sadly these days peaceful gets you no where.
Chaos gets you noticed and shows how angry you are.
Think Stonewall!
You don't know how much of a pathetic hypocritical country this is
Those behind the protests know this is going to happen and yet keep organising more protests.

Then why are the government proposing to triple the cost of them?
But they shouldn't be attacking the horses, right? Takes absolute scum to throw bricks at horses.

Tories are greedy and encourage individualism and more greed.
load of bollocks, there are legions of other modes of transport/ways to make your presence felt wthout involving an innocent animal.
