That's interesting. I benefited from a free university education, and admittedly would find paying for tuition now a less-than-welcome prospect.
The reason I raised the point is not so much to champion the idea itself, but rather to show a different perspective on a policy that has been universally criticised. Its overall intentions were never articulated at the time (for whatever reason), and had I not heard Nick Clegg talk about it, I would not have been able to appreciate it in a different light.
