my mom had woken up at 4am just to watch some scheduled wedding thats more about power than love.
Women/girls were particularly interested in the event.
The extent to which I like the royal thing is about it looking posh and fancy but thats about it. Nothing more than a minor appeal and a bit of curiosity.
I wouldn't have even bothered watching it if it wasnt on the 100 plasma screens across the horse race venue. But women are so full of it "oooh I wanna see the dress....awwww its so beautfiul and romantic...awww I want to grab the bucket''
Women 
All in all I continue to sustain my negative attitude towards the whole wedding thing. The fuck am I losing more than an 8th worth of weed per week?? To pay for some random tards that were lucky enough to be spawned in the royal environment. Fuck that!
But I secretly suspect that they also do good for the public so it would be hypocritical to say I hate it just for the sake of my generally aimless rants.

How much money was spent on this wedding? how can anyone buy into this shit while they were also raising student tuition 3 fold, and making preemptive arrests on protesters so there would be no shit at the wedding. England is starting to look very much like 1984. Fuck anyone who supports monarchy.

Some good perhaps but I doubt its anything more than a facade, 5% good to 95% (greed, evil, corruption) doesn't equal good in my books. Thats just my .02 tho

Yeah the student fees going up to approx. £9000 is such a facepalmage Good thing I avoided that crock of shit.
I suspect that primarily rich kids will enrol from next the academic year while the smart ones will decide not to. This would downgrade the overall level of education.

They are doing a great job of slowly heating up the water to boil the live frog. The more difficult education is to afford the more easy to control the people will be. Of course the saving grace is the internet, once enough people have uploaded pirated college classes we will be ahead of those money grubbing SOBs. Only problem being the lack of actual degree which only they can provide, so they still have control over the money

If you go to uni this September then you'll miss the raised fees. They go up starting in 2012. And they'll stay on the lower rate for all your three years.

Nope, you will pay the same amount all three years. They will rise in 2012 for students starting then, not for current students.

That's exactly what is intended.
Sadly the laudable intent of the labour Gov to enable more people from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter uni's was only possible by reducing the educational standards required.
Case in point.Of the entire intake of my daughters course only she and one other managed to pass,what she considered to be, a basic test in grammer,for a three year degree course in journalism! . I would have thought a basic ability to write grammatically was a prerequisite for such a place,bit like taking a masters degree in mathamatics but unable to do long division.No?
Back on topic. I'm sure the "cost" of this wedding (it cost us fuck all by the way as the civil list is a fraction of the monies the Exchequer takes from Crown properties) could have knocked a £ or two off of your fees or got a few more 's a place at uni.

What I was aiming at was that as fees go up primarily rich snobs will enrol. IMO this way a smaller number of more intelligent people will enrol since they're spread across the socio-economic spectrum. Seeing that a smaller proportion of smarter people do a course then the standards of examination (and thus of teaching) will have to be downgraded in order to achieve a mean average standard. So someone who was a 2.1 student in the past would qualify as a 1st with this new standard. Don't flame cause this is a personal speculation.
