  • Angela Eagle innit?

    Pro tuition fee, pro Iraq war, Oxford educated, national chess champion Angela Eagle. The one with a twin sister also in parliament.

    Everything that the electorate has just rejected.

  • dresses very sharply and occasionally posts derogatory comments about povvo's on social media.

    Sure. BTW, after the removal of tuition fees in Scotland, the number of people from disadvantaged backgrounds applying to university dropped dramatically. In England it has actually encouraged a wider range of people to sign up. Tuition fees have increased social mobility.

  • Not wanting to get off topic, but this makes me totally twitch. You don't think fees putting almost every graduate into massive debt are problematic? And btw the gov white paper has just lifted the £9k cap. I really don't think the 3 things you link: tuition fees, applications to university and social mobility, are so simply connected.

  • That seems extremely counter-intuitive to me.

    Who did the research that tuition fees equals more people signing up? I've already no idea how I am going to afford wee man's fees in xx years times.
