Oh well I have applied for another load of finance to pay for my third year at university, which will considerably increase my debt from the current £16k to over £25k once I finish the course next year.

Educations not cheap, and when I think how much the international students I study with have to pay out per year!......well I suppose I'm lucky and after all it should give me dividends in the future if I live and work long enough to reimburse the Government!!

We could be looking at a new PM then, all vote for PM Lizzy, she could exempt all Omega drivers from road tax....

[kris9128]

I wish!!

IF I did go into politics I certainly would freeze road tax on all vehicle (except 4x4's which I would lift by 5 times the current rate; agricultural use would be exempt however for farmers like Debs! 8-) 8-)), ensure all roads were brought up to standard, and also ensure a fully integrated transport system was developed with a vastly extended rail network.

Hang on though, first I'd have to ensure the financial disaster caused by Brown & Co is cleaned up, and I will probably be dead before then it is that bad!!

In my view Lizzie ......................it was a disgrace when tuiton fees  were first introduced..............and I was further pissed............ that it was a LABOUR government .......that started it all.  :-/ :-/( Hang your head in shame Tory Blair......)

I believe that all education ...for all people ...especially the poor......should be a RIGHT    .........and it should all be free of charge.......paid for by the taxpayer. ......(yeh....I know it's not really free)

One problem..........that we do have now though...........is the number of people going on to university............about 44% ...at present .....with the government hoping that this figure will rise further to 50%..
When I left school in the seventies ...............I believe that the figure was well under 10%.

Anyway .......with regard to tuiton fees ..........a precedent has been set .........unless you are Scottish. :-/ :-/

You are soooooo right Optimist!!

It is unrealistic to believe that 50% of school leaver should, want, or need go to university.  But the universities are now big business, part of the capitalist system that New Labour (socialist my arse!!) have bought into.   The name of the game with these establishment, commercial concerns (and I see proof everyday), is to make profits and not necessarily provide the best education for it's students!

I am sure you are decades away from it but when I took out my student loans if you hadn't repaid by the age of 54 they were wiped clean.....is that still in effect on loans of today...?

No Gaffers, I am living proof that there is no time limit on paying back the loan, just that if you earn over £15,000 per annum then you will pay back a scaled percentage of your earnings until your account is clear.  So the debt remains after 54, but of course I am years away from that!!
