Speaking on BBC Radio 2, Mr Clegg said: "I hate in politics, as in life, to make promises that you then find you can't keep... We made a promise we can't deliver - we didn't win the election outright and there are compromises in coalition."

Bullshit.  The pledge was to vote against any rise in tuition fees.  They can do that whether they have 5 or 500 MPs.

Of course, since most Lib Dem support comes from students, they've pretty much fucked themselves royally.

Of course it's bullshit, they are politicians.

At this point I'm fairly sure I don't trust any of them to be honest, which says a lot for my country.

Anyone up for a revolution?

Hells yeah!!!

[Leafsnail]

Nah... high treason is apparently still punishable by death :x.

[ed boy]

Nope. Just life imprisonment.

Offences constituting high treason include plotting the murder of the sovereign; having sexual intercourse with the sovereign's consort, with his eldest unmarried daughter, or with the wife of the heir to the throne;

Good to know the UK has its priorities straight.

I'm sure that part is outdated and unenforced though.

Its pretty hilarious when you think about it....
That punk your rebellious little girl is dating and probably screwing?  Don't like him?  Charge him with high treason.  Win.

[Sowelu]

Now name an effective riot

Not in the UK, and I hate to say it, but: Rodney King.

Sure as hell got peoples' attention.  Maybe not in a good way but it led to some change alright in terms of paying attention, yes.

Yeah, and it'd just be a waste of parliamentary time to remove.

Universities Minister David Willetts said students had not seemed to have understood the proposals on fees - and that they would not have to pay the higher fees up-front. (source bbc)
