As for Corbyn - take off about 40 years, add some hair, fill him out a bit, better teeth, add a bit of personality and change his political views and maybe, just maybe - on second thoughts. You seem to think he is all that - maybe he is more your type.

What ridiculous amount of debt - only for high earners. Sorry, I don't buy into this sense of entitlement many these days seem to have.

Of course it's linked, it's utterly foolish to think it isn't. One can't exist without the other, I'd have thought that would have been obvious. The fee serves as a limiter to who can attend, a lack of fees would likely result in a lot of unis becoming more than a breeding ground for the next generation of Tory Toffs. Education is a right, not an entitlement and it's worrying that you believe it to be the latter.

This whole argument of 'entitlement' just comes across as bitterness from an older generation. 'I had it hard so now I demand that everyone suffers with me!'

The rest is just more Corbyn obsession and 'I know you are but what am I'' defenses.
