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.

You do get carried away with that over-active imagination of yours and making lots of assumptions about what you think I really believe based on your interpretation of what I say.
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!
