Tuition Fees, Just Another Example

Those signing the Vote for Students pledge, [opposing the hike in fees] which include Nick Clegg, Sir Menzies Campbell and Vince Cable as well as a group of current and former Labour ministers, have given the first clear indication of their position on tuition fees ahead of the Browne review due in the autumn.

Cable abandons Lib Dem pledge on tuition fees by accepting the main proposal of Lord Browne .... that the limit on fees should be lifted.


Just as wish-washy, spineless and hypocritical as ever then. It's the power, you see. Pledges, promises and principles mean fuck all, to any of them, once they've secured your vote and begin to breathe the politically polluted air within the Westminster Bubble.

They're all the fucking same. Whatever the 'party'.

The Consequences Of Living In The Westminster Village Bubble

What's been happening in the 'real' world totally eludes them, especially the effect on the lives of 'real' people who have unwittingly become entangled in the consequences of the UK's continuing membership of the EU.

Real bloggers have been aware of it for years so I particularly enjoyed the following three comments, which ably point out that fact, in the recent post of a Village Bubbletarian, HERE:

"Bet she [Theresa May] doesn't do a damn thing. Who in their right mind would agree to sign up to extend the "no evidence required" arrest warrant in the first place? I thought they said they would be repatriating laws, instead they have already signed away more of our rights. Don't worry though, fatboy Pickles is tackling the nuisance of too many road signs so the coalition is working and all is well."

"Sorry, Iain, but many of us bloggers saw this coming ages ago. The EU is nothing but a big-state, jobs-for-the-boys,(and girls), control-freak, neo-communist dictatorship for brainless, gravy-train politicians with a lust for power! When are the MSM going to start investigating our troughing politicians properly instead of faithfully parroting what they are told by those very same powers that be?"

"What comes to mind is stable doors and horses. Because Dave has reneged on the Lisbon Treaty referendum when the country would have rejected Europe and all it's arrest warrants you are now regretting it's implications. Get real. Our politicians have betrayed this country and sold out on over a thousand years of history. This is the end of our independence, law making, traditions and the British way of life. Lisbon is the final act in the superstate jigsaw. It's self amending legislation from here on. If you don't know this already you are an idiot. What are you complaining about? When you supported Dave, you supported these warrants and much else besides."

Or perhaps I'm just being my normal Grumpy Old Twattish self.
Maybe I'm just being a little harsh?
