As for your 'Future Divide' Vision
that is wrong as many poor students will get funding help.


And you bring up Class
Labour right now has a Oxford Toff Boy in charge

Then why up the fees if "poor students will get funding help"? Those students will number few and far between. I'm not even going to be a student that's directly affected by these increases and I can see it's an unfair proposal.

As for the police van, I would bet money that the people attacking it weren't students, just vandals who saw an opportunity to cause chaos without facing consequences.

Really? Because to me, it looks like some people are covering up their distinguishable features so they could turn up to a protest and turn it into a violent affair. Maybe they are students, but they're not students who are there to protest peacefully or achieve anything constructive, that's for sure.

Because it will give the universities greater financial freedom and so that the UK's leading institutions can continue to provide the best service possible and compete with the best Unis worldwide.

As Arista has said poorer students will get financial support, and they wont have to start repaying the money until they're earning over £21,000 and it will be written off if it cannot be repayed after 30 years.

Hopefully, this wont be too much of a deterrent to those who do want to go to University. The average return on a degree is apparently £160,000 so the benefits will still far outweigh the cost for most people. I'm incredibly fortunate really, I'll be the last year who only has to pay £3,000 a year, although I dont think I'd be put off if I wasnt. Dont get me wrong, I do feel for the students who will be hit by this increase, but I dont think it is as unreasonable as it is being made out to be
