#2 "The fee was not hiked, the subsidy was lowered."

BP, kinda like here when the Dems call not appropriating as much money as they want for a project (but as much or more than was appropriated last year) a "spending cut."

Looks like we've got innumerate idiots on both sides of the Pond. (But we knew that.)

Guess the ~~thugs~~ students think your gummint's got a Magic Money Tree™ out back too.... :-(

#6 I don't understand. Prince Charles is merely an assistant figurehead, one of many sharing figureheading duties with the queen. Nobody serious pays any attention to his opinions whatsoever, and he has no power outside of his assigned residences... and precious little within them.

#8 not according to him

Fortunately for him, thinking at all, let alone clearly, is not a job requirement.

#9 Tuition is going from around $5,000 per year to around $15,000 per year. Not an excuse for vandalism and violence. But if I were a British student I'd be pretty angry.
