Oh my god. He's talking about real life events?

So Nick Clegg (one of maybe three many, many existing politicians I could name) said before he was...elected or something (I don't really follow politics) was that he wasn't going to raise tuition fees if he was...elected or something.
Now that he is in place as Deputy Prime Minister (AKA David Cameron's bitch errand boy) he has passed the bill or whatever it is for higher tuition fees

SOMEbody doesn't want re-elected. As usual the first people to bitch about this are the facebookers. Already I've seen 3 or 4 groups asking, is slightly more colourful terms, for Clegg's head on a stick.

As a tight-fisted so and so, I can see why people are annoyed. With the cap on fees raised to £9,000 it now rivals the American college fees which have been around $18,000 for a while now and people are going to have to start saving from the cradle. And I understand why people have reacted so strongly.
It is a lot of money.

However there is a good reason for him doing this. I'm certain he didn't roll out of bed pull out a book entitled "Piss off your country in one easy step - for idiots", stroke his evil moustache and laugh maniacally. Now to be fair, I don't actually know what the reasoning is, mainly because I don't have the patience to sit down and watch middle-aged men argue whilst their wives sit behind them bored as all get out, hoping for the day the public drives their husband from their city so she doesn't have to watch him talk anymore

Although I could probably make some up.

1. Obvious one being, we're are in a recession (although statistically speaking we pulled out of it just barely)
2. Raccoon bandits made him do it
3. Universities needed better quality stuff
4. Better quality education
5. Evil ninjas made him do it

But the government isn't evil. They have a duty to do what they think is best for us, so they have to have a maternal attitude toward us.

Of course where's the fun in acceptance.

Lynch the idiot!
