Put them in stocks and throw rotten veg at them.And then?
Doesn’t sound much of a solution to me. And then?Put them in stocks and throw rotten veg at them.
Have a ratings league where those that display forthrightness and tell the least lies and show the least greed and diligently tend to their constituents are championed and displayed for all to see. Pay them accordingly.Doesn’t sound much of a solution to me. And then?
I don't have a problem with funding University for people as long as they choose subjects where they will have a realistic chance of paying it back in taxes. I'm not so keen to fund someone's 3 year stint to self enlightenment. If they want to learn for pleasure, they can read a book.
Oh, no. Wait…….
Keir Starmer says Labour will abandon pledge to scrap tuition fees
Party will ‘move on’ from Starmer’s 2020 leadership pledgewww.independent.co.uk
I think I’ve caught Gallahad's misleading thread title syndrome!
A newly formed body called Offpol would rate each politician on the service they provide?And then?
The reality is that there is a percentage point whereby if there are more people than that percentage point not paying back the loan then it would be cheaper not to charge tuition fees in the first place...What is the reality about tuition fees?
I mean student loans are a Ponzi scheme arent they -many students will never pay them off
A graduate on a salary of say £27k might only pay £25 a month -thats not gonna pay off a £50k debt after 40 years of working unless there is a serious increase in salary.
When you were a student, did you wear a beret and have that picture of Che Guevara on your bedroom wall?The reality is that there is a percentage point whereby if there are more people than that percentage point not paying back the loan then it would be cheaper not to charge tuition fees in the first place...
It used to be 46%, but that was breached...
So the government simply changed the terms/length of the loan to in theory raise that percentage point...
And a major part of the con is that student debt is counted as an 'asset'!
But then UK governments have shunned the European social model, and care not for it's peoples (or the country's) futures...
Except of course as is always the case, making sure that a few get to make money out of what should be a free public service.
Strange how most EU countries charge nothing or very little when it comes to a University education and they still do very well...
Note that whereas previously UK students when in the EU paid the same local rates, now they have often have to pay far more!
For example here is simple image for those simple brexiteer folks...
(Thankfully all our children will have no student debt whatsoever )

Just like Boris did when he carried out the result of the referendum. At least we agree on something.diligently tend to their constituents are championed and displayed for all to see
Heathrow would be more relevant.Just like Boris did when he carried out the result of the referendum. At least we agree on something.
Or do you mean when they tend to their constituents and only champion it if it coincides with your beliefs regardless of whether it’s a majority of said constituents wishes?
Training the vast majority to be in debt for life is the plan...It creates a relaxed attitude to high levels of debt. It also limits people's ambition to earn their potential.
"I've got 30k of student loan, so what's another 20k on a car".
"If I go for the promotion, I will just have to pay more off".
