The riots in London last week were triggered by the Conservative-led coalition government’s decision to permit much higher university tuition charges.
Another example of bold, budget-cutting David Cameron at work?
Well, writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Christopher Booker gives a little perspective:
In the short term, the Government’s own projection as to how much it will save is that the funding of university tuition will be cut by £2.9 billion by 2014. As it happens, £2.9 billion is the sum ring-fenced, by the same public spending review, to be given to developing countries to help them fight global warming with windmills and solar panels.
Ah.
Well, that's just crazy. But look at the bright side; maybe it will pit the students against the global warmists!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHahaha, you have to laugh at that. It really is funny. Left eats left. It's what happens when liberal social policies reach their end game. Global warming is so funny. It really is. Why people think that we should believe politicians on something so serious, is funny to me. That someone like Al Gore should be the face of your movement is funny. They wonder why nobody believes them? It's politics. If they really believed in global warming, they never would have allowed politicians to own the subject. It was guaranteed to fail as a movement the moment they let Al Gore be their face. People don't believe politicians, and they shouldn't. They're not believable.
Likewise, global warming is completely unbelievable to me. Man made, anyway. It's a laugh. Then again, the reason they let good ol' Al be their face is because they couldn't prove it with science, because the science doesn't add up! It's a joke. They had to fake numbers, hockey stick graphs, and trash the historical data, to get their result. Yet, they didn't see how that was a problem. Strike three.

I would hope that when similar things happen when sorely needed cuts to the U.S. Fed are proposed, the conservatives respond by saying, "Thanks!"
"You're cutting this program while we're spending X on studying Indonesian primate diets?!"
"You're right...makes no sense. Cut 'em both. See...we *can* compromise!"
As for man-caused "climate change" - meh. I figure it pretty obnoxious to suggest that the current climate - or any given climate over the history of the Earth - is the "right" one. Put the "green" back in Greenland - w00t!
The whole thing is and was nothing but a colossal power and money grab in an attempt to strengthen "world government" to meet a socialist end, of course.
