Someone mentioned to me the real reason why today's youths are so pro-Labour despite the awfulness and hypocrisy of Corbyn boils down to university tuition fees. It doesn't matter that Labour is equally complicit but they are the only party openly talking about abolishing them and that's pretty much the answer there. And I am sympathetic in this regard. It's really not fair to force most of today's students to borrow so much for their worthless degrees from third tier toilet universities when people born a decade or two earlier got to go to Oxbridge for free.

Meh, that generation have had it all. Massive boom times, free education, houses for £4.50 that are worth millions now and are allowed the luxury of just moaning bigots into retirement. I'm truly jealous.

Re: Student Loans
 
Interesting discussion - we will be looking at this in a couple of years for our oldest. He wants to do civil engineering at Coventry University - great for us as we live there and its a good Uni so we can save on living costs etc. But obviously tuition fees are the main worry - do they charge interest on the student debt or not ? and if so, is it compounded ?
