  • Ok, so it's the method of payment? But I'm pretty sure I've said if that hit was implemented in the exact same way (people could pay it off over a life-time, as their income dictates) I believe they would be just as pissed off.

    If people are getting something for their money (a house, a car, a law degree) I can't see them taking to the streets, and if the 18k charge is optional (on condition of acceptance) I think it even less likely that they would take to the streets, and if the repayment only started (if it ever does) when they earn more than XXXX I think it even more unlikely that they would head out onto the streets in protest.

    If on the other hand we remove these caveats (let's say they get nothing, have to pay up immediately and pay regardless of their income) then the comparison falls apart.
