Students

Now, I love being a student, and I love many things about students. But some of them are monumentally stupid and / or detached from reality.

Today I listened to some students at Strathclyde University responding to the Budget on radio 5. One was doing a Phd in Accountancy and he argued that it was merely tinkering at the edges and that:

1. Instead we should look at stopping 'imperialist wars'.
2. We should look at the 'prevailing culture of unemployment'.
3. Students are living in poverty and would stop drinking if the prices go up.

No doubt he also wants an 'end to all wars' and 'money for jobs'. Anyway, truly ludicrous on all counts.
