Good pic and so true! At least it's looking like Corbyn isn't going to be anywhere near power for a few years and next time the election happens, conservatives can up their game a bit! I normally vote Lib-dem but cannot stand their leader so didn't bother this time but it still baffles me how so many people can vote for Corbyn! But they do so fair play- i'm obviously missing something!

Free tuition fees!

The irony is the repayments are in favour of the lower paid and I think I'm right in saying working class student numbers have increased. The 50% - 60% may feel later in life that why should they find someone else's further education and higher earnings.

Just putting it out there really. I agree with Jamie that education should be encouraged as much as possible, should be valued by society and not just measured on a profit basis. But you can remove media studies and other work delaying bollox.

I voted labour as you'll well know but this is one of the policies I disagreed with believe it or not. I think it's quite unfair that people who decide against further education for whatever reason should foot the bill for those who are effectively going into it for self gain.

We're the Arthur over ere!

I went to university and graduated in 2009. I pay 10% of my salary above 20kish back to the student loan company. To me, this seems fair enough. I fi never earn above £20k, then I don't pay back a penny so don't get why people get so upset over student loans.

Also, coming from a modest yet normal background (Mum was a teacher and Dad a fireman), I received zero maintenance grants (help towards food etc- accommodation is covered by the loan) at university. People who came from low income got loads of grants. This meant that to get the same money, I had to work part time at M and S and Ninian Park while they sat on their arses!

So in summary, current situation is fine and actually favours low income family students over normal income ones!!

Nothing has changed comrade. The right of the party are still desperately putting various parts of their body in their mouths, or someone else's, to keep schtum about their true feelings.
You know those weasel Labour politicians will endure almost anything for their two Jags.

Will they hold the pretense together long enough for the next election I wonder.

Popcorn at the ready.

I have to hand it to you Nick.
You take double standards to levels that would shame even the most liberal liberal.
