Brits Out

I read on the BBC News website this morning that the Northern Ireland Executive are shall we saying trying to table a motion to make it law that students from Britain will have to pay £9,000 to go to college at eith Queen's or University of Ulster.

Part of me agrees with fees - university isn't for everyone, but most people go because irts convenient and they dn't have a back up plan?!

If you are putting it up for one, then put it up for all. Last week I called the Prime Minister hypritical - well Northern Ireland Executive you are no different!

Are you discriminating against Britain because they are British? What about all this Unionist talk about being part of the United Kingdom and so on ........

The Republic have it the right way around. Don't impose fees on a first degree - get them in the door and then when they have graduated, then you charge the fees for the 2nd and 3rd degrees!

The world and their granny has a degree these days so its a given that people are going to get 2nd and 3rd degrees ......................... so publicise Northern Ireland by offering FREE undergraduate education, and the people coming will hopefully like it so much that they want to stay on and do further study in Northern Ireland!

Yeah yeah yeah there will be opposition to that because this will mean a drop in money and it will have to be found from elsewhere..

And that is the way it should be.

There is inefficencys in every departments budgets and this will help curb these! And this is exactly what we need to become a stronger economy.

So say NO to keeping the Brits Out!

Hypocrites?

The looting that happened in England at the beginning of August showed what people are calling a broken Britain. Some people might not agree because it is just a small faction of society and mainly ethnic cultures.

Well I would say it is a broken Britain....

The looters broke in to every sort of store possible from stealing water, to high-end TVs. I am not denying it is stealing and it should be punished. But is a certain British Prime Minister not being a tiny bit hypocritical saying the looters will feel the full force of the law.

Yes Mr Cameron you may not have been brought up in a deprived area of Britain but just think back a few months to the expenses scandal....

This was not just a one party issue ... it was all parties. And tell me this... what is so different from what the looters did and the expenses scandal. Members of the British Parliament stole, yes, stole in the same way that the looters did only they did it in a very sneaky way.

Did they feel the full force of the law? I think not. They got off scott free. And the worst thing about this whole thing is that they got the opportunity to give the money back and no further action would be taken. So why can't this be offered to the looters. If they are prepared to give back what they stole, then they should have no further action taken against them.

People have been sent to jail for stealing water. MPs did a lot worse than that and didn't even have to appear before a court!

Incredible.

Mr Cameron, you need to rethink your strategy, and instead of setting a bad example you need to treat the MPs like you are treating the general public and jail them to for their petty theft. MPs are public representatives, representing the people, so they are no different than the people they are representing!
Start by underwriting all the damage that was caused.

Cut the police budget. People will learn to live and work on a budget and maybe the quality of their work might improve.

Broken Britain... Cameron I think you just shattered Britain because you are a hypocrite!

Keep chukkin them deuces!
