Although the free education thing is a bit of a red herring. Current university numbers are about five times higher than in those years, only about 10% of those baby boomers had the advantage of free university education.

Five times higher, but way more expensive. I'd like to see a source for that 10% - sure living expenses and so on, but I don't remember whether university fees were levied at the individuals attending.

It was 8.4% in 1970 https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwiMpui_rrjVAhVlCcAKHd3JBnsQFggoMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fresearchbriefings.files.parliament.uk%2Fdocuments%2FSN04252%2FSN04252.pdf&usg=AFQjCNEhZJMFMwni-zEsyN5sg_4UgnTe1A (bottom of page 14)
