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?
1bn compared to 100bn. Er!

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?

Wasted? How? No money is wasted that is going to improve vital services somewhere.

It's a bribe to keep Tories in power, nothing more nothing less.

You can't be against the idea of wiping Student Debts because it'll cost in the short term by using the NHS as an excuse then ignore the fact that money that could have relieved a lot of the stress the NHS is under has been wasted to keep May in Downing Street. That's the issue here with Brillo's point of view.

Once again, how is the money being wasted?

It's been given to the DUP so they can dress it up as a victory for NI when it's really a victory for them.

The Tories preach austerity and they cut down on funding for the NHS and yet they throw a £1bn bribe to stay in power.

If you don't think the DUP deal is a glorified bribe then you are burying your head in the sand.

Why do you keep trying to divert? I didn't mention anything about bribes, or the DUP, I asked you how the money is being wasted, which you repeatedly claim.

Where did you get 80% from - I read it was a third (33%).

Those that benefit the most from no fees will be the high earners (mostly middle class) who would have been in a position to pay their debts.

So the average lower paid worker will be paying their debts for them through taxation whilst those Middle-class high earners get steadily wealthier. Thinking about the many my arse.

No thought to the poor unfortunates getting ripped off on the interest on these loans?

They don't matter, they're probably dirty liberals that don't get out of bed until the afternoon anyway.
