I’d riot, too.

I hate nanny states like the plague, as you can imagine. I’d like the see the welfare state in Britain disassembled and I figured the tuition hikes were part of that disassembly. Decrease spending, decrease the size of the state, lower taxes.

But it turns out the money is simply be rerouted from funding domestic college tuition to funding global warming alarmism in developing countries.

In the short term, the Government’s own projection as to how much it will save is that the funding of university tuition will be cut by £2.9 billion by 2014. As it happens, £2.9 billion is the sum ring-fenced, by the same public spending review, to be given to developing countries to help them fight global warming with windmills and solar panels.

At least before the government was spending money it didn’t have on educating the public. Now it’s spending money it doesn’t have on global warming alarmism in foreign countries. Absolutely stupid.
