Students certainly made their feelings clear yesterday about the Government's proposed increases to tuition fees. Although I'm not sure the riots and violent behaviour was the best way for them to get their message across- and I think they have created some negative PR for themselves.
I think this was a case of mob mentality- a few were probably out looking for trouble and lots of others got caught up in the atmosphere and got carried away. I believe they do feel strongly about the rise in fees, as I would if I were about to start university. I hope the Government manage to rethink and come up with a solution that will still enable students from all backgrounds to have the chance to go to university, as it would be such a shame to restrict it to those who can afford it.
