Performance at Student Occupation Newcastle University

I would like to thank those who invited me to perform at the Student Occupation at Newcastle University last night.  It was great to hear from a group of committed and passionate young people, all eager to speak out against the rising tuition fees.

Although the protests and occupations are directed at the singular issue of rising student fees I feel it is important to emphasise how this issue relates to the wider economic inequalities that perpetuate in our economic system.  The Lib-Dem, Conservative Coalition may be to blame for the proposal of this legislation but in reality they are merely attempting to insert minuscule plugs into a steadily sinking ship.  If Labour were still in it wouldn't surprise me if they went down the same route, for me it is not a party political issue.

None of the mainstream political parties focus on the route cause of most of the inequalities in society.  This root cause is the Fractional Reserve Banking system and the debt driven economic system governed by the IMF.  In the current 'Economic Crisis' it is Economic growth that is sought, human need comes secondary to profit.

I would highly recommend reading 'The Mystery Of Banking' by Murray Rothbard, which gives a clear and concise explanation of the insanities of our monetary system.  You can read online for free at http://mises.org/books/mysteryofbanking.pdf
