Not really the point. There are numerous Labour MPs have been vociferous in their objection to the cap. Rayner called it heinous in opposition as an example.I think this is a good thing in some ways, as going forwards, if you can't afford to have more than two children, you shouldn't expect others to pay for them instead.
But if you lose your job or they move the goal posts after you have them then it's really a different issue.
I'm more arsed about punishing kids that had no say in that decision, to be honest.
Fair play to him
Purges and starvation policies... the cap fits
Evidence suggests that the scheme was starting to work. But in no way can I defend the amount of money that this has cost.
Well go back thirty years and it wasn’t education paid for by the consumer, it was seen as an essential part of the state education service to have a fully functioning society. It’s also not a luxury only available to people based on their personal wealth (well, their families wealth). The attainment is based on academic merit of the individual.
Personally I’d rather go back to scrapping university fees or at the very least make changes to the interest paid on student loans. My sons lucky in that I’m in the position where I can pay off his fees for him up front, plenty aren’t though.
