Nice one Yank.
You're right. Since the early 90's university student population in the UK has risen 10-fold.
University education has never been free here, students or parents have always had to contribute if they could afford it, and spending on university grants per student has fallen over the last 10 years, but the cost of student education here has rocketed.
Link for JP;

I don't think "burning down the country" quite covers it, but that's media coverage for you.
You never had student protests in the US?

In sentences like these you give a lesser example of something first, followed by "let alone" and then the greater example.
LET ALONE
Of course, You focus on the greater example.

Don't you think it's a bit odd that certain people from other countries spend so much time here criticizing American politicians, laws, etc.? Isn't it unseemly when they campaign for certain candidates in OUR elections; sometimes spreading propaganda and lies? We even have one who does it all the time in the most disgusting terms. He recently FALSELY accused a candidate for the Senate of exposing his genitals in a magazine. Should no one object to that?
And quite often they get it wrong. People have claimed, for instance that we have had a GOP government, when the House and Senate were Democrats, thinking that the party of President controls the government. So I think it's justified to point out at they don't comprehend how the US works so maybe should refrain from commenting on things they don't understand.
Gee, Josh, you never give them a hard time, do you?
