It's swings and roundabouts really. Yes we have to pay for university but many more people now have the opportunity to go than when it was free, 50% now go whereas it used to only be 10%. Yes we'll probably have to work longer than our parents but we're also likely to lead longer and healthier lives. Yes lots of people now use foodbanks but go back twenty/thirty years and that option would not even have been there for those that were struggling.

Who's we, did you pay to go to uni?

It wasn't the dark ages 20-30 yrs ago, people of my generation live as long as is humanly possible too :/

The reason they weren't there is there was no call for them, unless there was some dire emergency! There have always been agencies for those in need but at the scale they are now and affecting so many UK wide? Unprecedented! It's shameful

I was the last year of the lower fees as it happens which I admit I am fortunate about but I still think it would have been worth going with the higher fees. Plus if I had paid the higher fees I wouldn't be having to pay anything back yet

..this thread topic makes me think of Mike and the Mechanics lyrics...which actually are probably quite true...




Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
