Couldn't believe the staggering figure clearing historic student debt is Likely to cost the tax-payer. If this figure is anywhere near correct it should not happen. |

Should NEVER have happened in the first instance what motive could there be for putting that millstone round the necks of young people?
Sickening that they got away with that, it needs wiping the tory parasites can feed elsewhere hopefully not their usual goto victims the young, poor, disabled and vulnerable.

Everyone benefits from an educated workforce, they have the skills needed by business therefore they are a benefit to society. They also earn more and pay more tax... win win.

The highly educated often become future employers = more tax to the government. Educating people is an investment for the future economy of this country.

It wouldn't be so bad if they reduced the ridiculous interest rate.
As to students paying for uni education, I can't see why the taxpayer should pick up the bill. You have a choice to go or not, however there should be more proper apprenticeships available to give another option. More students from lower paid families go now, so it is not a deterrent. |

Plus it has been stated that it would lead to limiting numbers going to uni which would be counter-productive. I agree that helping those at the lower end of the earning spectrum with apprenticeships is money better spent and likely to lead to more success and improved earning potential for the many. |

Of course it's not a deterrent, bright less well off kids still have ambition, the ethical question is is it right to exploit them in this way?
It should be criminal to agree terms of a loan and then ramp up the interest if it was anyone other that this corrupt bunch of shysters there would be uproar :/

the problem with our present government is, they are not good economic managers. They can of course afford to pay for further education, just as they can afford a better education for our school children, better hospitals for the sick and better pensions to all those people who diligently paid their national insurance contributions all their working lives. What this government is doing is a misleading and socially destructive lie.

Isn't the money saved from paying into the EU going to the NHS what's happening to that?

This only ****s over young people anyway! Who cares about them? They're too busy sleeping in to vote or go to Uni anyway! What is an investment? I don't know, All I know is that the young people and new labour are to blame for EVERYTHING.
It got put into the 'When we need to bribe a party to stay in power' fund. Would Brillo agree that the money spent on that bribe would have been better spent on the NHS, I wonder? Last edited by Tom4784; 09-07-2017 at 08:11 PM. |

Stellar all-star line up

Student debt clearly discourages people from attending UK universities, which will in turn cause a brain drain, and lead to less people studying things such as, for instance, medical sciences.
What do you do if not enough people are training to become doctors?

How is this relevant to my point about hiking the terms post agreement? That is exploitation pure and simple.

The numbers going to uni will apparently have to be restricted if there is free education for all.

Ah, so you're avoiding talking about an ACTUAL waste of tax payers money while speaking at length about what is essentially an investment IF Labour under JC win an election and can successfully push this through parliament.
Do I really need to spell out the fatal flaw in your logic here? Surely you can see it, right? |
