I need money

I received some post today from 'Aimhigher student finance' basically telling me that; even though my parents can't afford to pay towards University, I wont be entitled to any money from the Government. Instead it's off to the masses of media studies, sports science and sociology students to fund 3 years of partying.
Why is this happening? Surely the government would be better off funding science, law, economics and engineering degrees that will actually benefit the country?

Okay rant over

Are there any decent bursaries being given to Physics students that I should know about?

Well you're not going to get free money, so grow up and pay for your education like everybody else does.

Yes we do. People with low incomes, and a select few on special courses get a little help towards it but everyone else pays. Grow up and pay for it yourself. We're all getting loans to pay for our education, why shouldn't you?
It is so easy nowadays to start making free money from very little.

Out of boredom I limited my spending to £300 just to see how much I could change that into.

I managed to blag an ebay seller to sell me his iphone 3g for £300, i put this back on ebay on auction and whhay after fees etc I had £570. I did some bits and bobs and got up to £600.

Then I bought a 20 of BMW diagnostic kits for £30 each from china. Downloaded the software. Sold these for £85 each. Went on ebay and went to BMW car meets around uk.

I have sold 20 !! , so you can do the maths.

it's not difficult if you aqquire the natural skill that is money making.

So from £300 I have managedto get into 4 figures in 1 1/2 months.

People who go get jobs in Tescos, or retail jobs are mugs in my eyes.

there is so much money to be had out there, no one bothers claiming it!

Obviously for the bmw you have to do some market reasearch and have common sense!

Because the country needs people like me that are willing to work hard for 3/4 years. They need my brain.

And the rest of us don't want this?

If you want money to go to uni, either get a student loan, or take a gap year and get a VERY well paying job.
