It's not as if the tax-payers do not get something back out of funding student's education. if you disagree, then stop going to university-educated doctors, stop your kids going to school to be taught by university-educated teachers, stop living in houses designed by university-educated architects, go and live under a fucking rock.

Education should be free for all. It's not a business that you can put a price on. A good education is one of the keys to a propsperous lifestyle for you and your family.

Those who are in favour of tuition fees, if you want to pay £9000 a year feel free to do so. Thats your choice. Just like those who don't want to pay for an education should have a choice.

It should be the choice of the people who are affected - not the upper class extremists that we have in our government. "David Scameron".

Maybe because its free in scotland, norway, denmark, sweden ?

@messi0123 And you only pay back the £9000 once you find work that pays over 21k per annum. That's a pretty good deal in my book. Why should you get higher education for free? If you don't get well paid work, you won't have to pay it back & if you do get well paid work, you'll be able to afford it. As I said before, only a fraction of people went to uni in the 70s & 80s. The playing field has changed now. We simply can't afford to pay for you all to go & study worthless degrees.

@messi0123 When I left school only a fraction of school leavers went to university. The majority of us left at 16 & found work in supermarkets, on building sites & in factories. It's called real life. These days the majority of school leavers go to university to learn dumbed down courses like media studies, beauty therapy & sports studies. I didn't cause the recession either sunshine but I'm paying out of my backside for it now.

[messi0123]

@whitbyjet65 But we do have a voice when we are being forced to pay for a recession that we didn't create! I'm pretty sure that the only thing your worried about are prices going up in sainsbury's. See how you would've of liked paying £9000 a year for an education.

[whitbyjet65]

I'm sorry but people who haven't contributed a penny in tax don't have a voice when it comes to deciding where our tax money is spent. Look at them! They're just kids playing games, and WE have to fund the bastards!
