True, repay is set to a pre-tax amount of £21000 per annum but that's not the students concern.
Basic university courses are 4/5 years long, with medical or legal being longer than 7. After 5 years of tuition, a graduate leaves with £50000 of debt.
This graduate has to now find a job and a place to live to enjoy their education, job and future.
Ah yes! I'll see the bank manager and get a mortgage on this property. Bank manager is all like
, no chance with that debt.

In this day and age of national debt and economy concerns, is it prudent to ensure that our nations future are debted to their eyeballs before they even commence employment.
I support the protests (not the violence) purely because a government shouldn't promise no rise in tuition fees (or the actual removal of fees) and then do the opposite thing.
The Charles and Camilla incident is pure idiocy. I can't think of anyone in this country that has done more for the young generation then Prince Chuck.
