I've just realised is that it's not relevant to students - why would they be protesting at Universities?! Oh well. :( Dexter on "MPs demonstrate at Universities over cut in expenses" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=18126#post-48756 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 19:40:14 +0000 Dexter 48756@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ Very nice. 4 stars from me.

"It's SO unfair", huffed one MP, who wished to remain anonymous. "I may be paying the mortgage on my third house for another 30 years now. This isn't what I stood for when I became an MP. They keep changing the rules. You can't trust the electorate to deliver what they promise". Meanwhile, in Westminster, students were shocked to find they had been protesting in vain as no Members of Parliament were to be found. "It's really rather funny, isn't it? The country seems to work perfectly well without them... now there's a thought!".
