Students should just stick to lectures

HERE we go again: another round of angry vociferous student union protests on the issue of fees.

Most of the protesters and, notably, the militant leaders are nothing but spoiled middle to upper class pups, many of whose parents are loaded and have sent their sons and daughters to university to get them out of the way, so they can get on with their lucrative careers.

Obviously, the poor-mouth preaching students have more than enough money to buy return tickets on buses and trains to organise themselves in central locations.

Perhaps, students are unhappy at the fact that they have to pay for their pub crawls and moonlighting while at third level, because more than a few of them have not seen a book or attended a lecture in a long time despite decrying the Government’s plans to introduce fees.
