No doubt you have seen the news.

No excuse for violence!
Protest yes but don't hurl things that could hurt folk!

I feel sorry that they have to pay I think it should be free
as it was for us in the 80's.

They don't have to start paying back till earning 15k I think.
I think it will put a lot of em off going to UNI

shame really :(

going up to 21k under new proposals i think.

If they cut out some of the mickey mouse degree course
might help.

Yep I think thats right a5baggie .

I dont agree with what went on, they say they were just going to take over the place...

My son has debts from Uni, so do we! :shock:
His Masters, including accomodation cost about 10 grand, no loans other than us paying it.
Tjat years is done now.
He has no job.. ones he did apply for are no longer there, cut backs. :roll:
He works in a spar in town, 10 hours a week, £10 pound more than signing on, just to save having to go and sign on.
All this time interest is added to his loans.
We had to do too.

Dont know what the answer is?
Move to Scotland while they are still in school to get free Uni?
