The Good Side of the Down Side?

Overall, it’s been a pretty bleak week or two in British Politics. First the long-awaited Browne review told us fees could rise thousands of pounds if the cap was to be lifted, and that graduates like us who benefit more out of university will have to pay more towards it. The Defence Review of last week also informed us of drastic cuts to the armed forces which could put Britain’s security at risk. As of last Wednesday’s comprehensive spending review, we have found out that the government will support these rising fees and slash university funding by 40 per-cent. It’s all pretty bleak - not really something I want to turn on the TV and listen to before a 9am lecture.
