Simply Unfair

The ConDem government has announced its plan for tuition fees: at least £6,000 per student, with the option for universities to demand up to £9,000. So now students will be saddled with almost double what they were having to pay before, at least! There are some caveats saying that universities will be monitored to ensure that students from poorer backgrounds are being given ample opportunity to enrol, but in general the policies will simply further the economic repression that is so fundamental to right-wing greedy capitalism. Even students who wish to pay off their debts early will be financially punished with an extra repayment in return for not repaying the full amount of interest on their loan - talk about malicious!
This coalition has previously said it would be too time consuming to means-test everyone, but I reckon most students would be willing to give a bit more of their time if it meant a much fairer system was implemented where only richer students would have to pay the maximum tuition fees while poorer ones actually received financial help to attend the university of their choice and receive a worthwhile education. As for the expense of means testing? Well, we could take it from the overblown ‘international aid’ budget which seems to make clear that other countries are considerably more important than our own in these difficult economic times! The ConDems, as usual, should be ashamed; before young adults even have the opportunity to get involved with the property market, they are already carrying a huge pecuniary burden.

Formula for economic repression

1. Pay people exactly the right amount of money so that if they scrimp and save they can just about get by, thereby making them seem ungrateful and lazy if they show concern about the redistribution of wealth.
2. Make all jobs formulaic and similar in their levels of mediocrity so that any hope of leaving one job for another is quickly dashed.
3. Make job interviews conformist so that only by succumbing to a set of scripted answers which the employee can then be held to account with will they ever achieve any level of monetary success.
4. Ensure that alongside the tight-fistedness of the jobseekers' allowance there is also an incredible difficulty of gaining further employment if the loss of the previous job was due to resignation or a demonstration of a free independent spirit. This will guarantee that people live in fear of unemployment or any sense of true choice.
5. If an employee goes to an employer stating that they are in financial dire straits and desperately require more money just to live, ensure that employer states, "Show me what you can do for the business and I'll tell you what the business can do for you." This will sufficiently break their spirit.
6. If an employee finally loses their temper and does something aggressive, focus on their negative personality traits to reassure other people that society is never to blame for mental illness, nervous breakdowns or pure rage.
7. Reward anyone who only cares about money and materialistic gain at the expense of all else.

P.S. Anyone who truly believes any of the above points is immoral, corrupt, brainwashed, narrow-minded or just a complete wanker!
