Fed up with all this nonsence about paying back student loans. As usual the ones who will benefit the most from Corbyn's 'no fees' policy will be the highest earners. As usual the ones that pay for it will be the taxpayers. That explains all the fuss. |

Let's be real though, this isn't about Student Loans for you. You dislike Higher education because you think it's a breeding ground for progressive, diverse and liberal viewpoints and that's why you are for limiting access to it by trashing any movement to abolish Uni fees.
It's a similar attitude that republicans and right leaning politicians have in the US, support for higher learning is at an all time low from those politicians and it's essentially because they rely on ignorance to stay in power and it's the same for the Tories. If Uni becomes more accessible to everyone then the Tories will lose their grip on the working class sheep that they rely so heavily on. |

I certainly do not dislike higher education - where the hell did you get that stupid idea from? I value higher education and have been there myself. That is one of the maddest things you have said and proves to me that you are no-where near having the measure of me. Yes I do feel that they have become a breeding ground for liberal views (describing them as progressive is purely opinion) due to peer pressure which has always been very powerful and liberal views are just very 'in' with certain groups at the moment, but I also know many are more independently minded and less susceptible to it - it's about self-confidence. I also value that level of education for anyone and everyone who has the the grades and wants it. The current system provides that. The article I posted demonstrates what a load of ballony all the drama about uni fees is. Those that will benefit the most from Corbyn's proposals will the highest earners who should pay. But all the scare-tactics also provided him with a lot of young votes. All is fair in love, war and elections hey! Last edited by Brillopad; 12-07-2017 at 12:26 PM. |

As for the bolded point, I literally laughed out loud. The current system doesn't provide for everyone that wants it, even if you do have the grades you might not be able to go due to the ridiculous amount of debt that the average student has to put themself in to merely learn. The delusion is real if you believe the current system to be accessible for everyone. Also don't try to paint regressive conservative views as being progressive, At their core a liberal view point is about looking to the future and becoming more progressive, a conservative view point is all about looking to the past and going backwards. Oh hello second mention of Corbyn by Brillopad in an unrelated thread today. Somebody might think you have a crush. |

But then the highest earners will become the largest tax payers and they in turn will indirectly pay for the next generations education, and then those students who have no debt will get jobs and pay for the next generations education. I get your point Brillo its something like 'wahh I would have more money if tories stay in power wahh' but you got to understand others' point 'students not being in debt for their education is a pretty good idea, that way the country can remain world leaders'. Or just carry on crying about it up to you.

i'm not too fussed on student loans, obviously i'd ideally rather not have any debt but the way in which you repay the loans is not bad at all.

I do find it quite depressing that people believe that the only need for higher education is "to get higher earnings"... and that the simple pursuit of knowledge and progressing civilisation through education isn't reason enough for people to want to support that education being free and accessible.
Yes it is important for people to earn enough, hopefully doing something that they enjoy, in order to live the lifestyle they want comfortably. Beyond that? There is SO much more to life -- and to education / academia -- it's not all about a bigger pay cheque! Breaking everything down to that is so, so bleak.
