Why thank you. You're 40 years out, sadly.Can't believe he's hooked you with that one.
You must be a Young Conservative.
arent most politicians like that??Made an effort? For fucks sake.
Prepared to backtrack on every principle he ever had and promise anything irrespective of the adverse consequences.
Well done Jerry, bravo, what a man. Wanker.
By Conservative standards that still counts as really young.Why thank you. You're 40 years out, sadly.

Well let's be honest, someone earning £15k a year is very unlikely to be a net contributor anyway, so they wouldn't be paying for anyone's degree. But the company that pays them such a shit wage should contribute, yes. Obviously a balance has to be met between the number of people you can afford to fund and the extent of that funding, but it's just economically a good decision for the whole country to have a highly educated population.
It's not really about the people who earn enough to easily pay it back though, it's about the people who struggle to get onto the housing ladder or save for retirement because they've got extra money coming out of their account every week. I pay £124 a month for my student loan. I'm luckily one of the ones that doesn't have to pay (real) interest, so I don't care too much. But let's be honest, that money could go into a pension or property, making me less of a burden in later life. With the new generation of students though, it's just going to be paying off interest forever, even when they've more than paid back their loan. I definitely object to that. At the very least, interest should be set like my student loan, where you pay back what you borrowed in real terms.
don't forget later in life you will be castigated for not saving for your retirement - I mean just £124 per month would have got you.............. you can imagine the script eh?

That's more than a sky subscription an absolute disgrace
Do I on a 100k a year projected salary
Have the full media package
Lease a Merc for 300 a month
Get a second house in Cornwall
Pay back my degree
It's a tough one for a left wing radical. Maybe get a warehouse worker to pay for my degree and be nice to the petrol attendant and vote Labour to ease my conscience.
The rich should make sacrifices degrees are exempt though for no reason whatsoever

Right so as a taxpayer you want them to pay for your degree yes?

In a word, no. The vast majority of MPs are decent, very hardworking, honest people. Unfortunately many turds float to the top.arent most politicians like that??
