I haven't really read up on this. But I believe the 'debts' only have to be paid back when the person is in a well paid job?
Currently £15k, going up to £21k soon.

So you mock my intentions because i'm not 42 years old?
That right there is why we are protesting. Ignorance of the older generations.

I don't like pigeonholing but when you're dealing with a large number of people it will happen. No government can look at cases individually and asses each and every one. So class distinctions will come with the grouping together of people.
I don't like Of course its out dated, beacuse social factors more than ever muddy the concept of class with people who seem like "working class thugs" actually being very well off, and those who are some of the poorest people in our land and further afar in the world are actually the brightest in the world..
Theres the school children who follow the protest, and while they are there learn about why they're protesting.
I'd be interested in knowing how university could be made better value for money. Even £6,000 a year sounds a lot for what you actually get.
You've made yourself look a right cock posting that.
Of course stereotyping will occur but your stereotyping is lazy and out-of-date as Collar Feeler has explained. 'upper working class'? That's not a class anyway on the ABCDE scale that most social commentators use. I think your grasp of this subject is not as strong as you think it is. I particularly like the highlight on the word 'like'. Your 'not wanting to pigeonhole but have to here because you are dealing with large groups of people' is a nonsense of an idea. Pigeonholing/Stereotyping - whatever you want to call it only ever happens because of the (perceived) habits of a large groups.
'No government can look at cases individually........so class distinctions will come with the grouping.....'
Really? Governments are not going to look at cases on an individual basis? They've already said they will to ensure that poor children don't get disadvantaged. The efficacy of such a measure remains to be seen but I think that any government advocating grouping by perceived class would be writing their own obituary.
Do you mind if I disseminate this statement? Firstly, 'Seem like being 'working class thugs actually being very well off.' Your statement seems to suggest that in your mind thuggery is linked to class and once again you haven't grasped that class is not about money but is a state of mind, it's cultural. The second part is irrelevant and a truism. Of course some of the poorest people in the land are the brightest. What's that got to do with working class thuggery? And why mention further afield? Absolutely useless in trying to back up your flimsy argument.
School children on the march 'learning' about why they are marching would seem a bit presumptive, wouldn't it, not to say downright patronising. Just as well there's sage people like yourself who are there on hand to tell the kids what's really going down - that's when you're not telling the 42 year olds how ignorant they are.
Power to the people.
£6,000 a year for about 1 hour a week one to one with a tutor, and 15 hours of lectures? Are you sure?
There is a way to solve the funding issue. Currently 20% of students expect to go to Uni. In 1970 it was only 5%.
So, firstly re-instate A level exams that can weed out the inelligible. With a 75% reduction in student numbers, the system will once again pay for itself with the existing funding.
Having only 5% of the country getting to university did not damage the country or the economy.
While I think the students have a fair point about the fees, the organisers have shown their true colours with all the political undertones to the last protest. Walking round with "Tory Scum" banners - what's that got to do with student fees?
Couple that with the rent-a-mob anarchists and you lose alot of public support. Had labour won the election and done the same thing, and they would've done the same thing, I bet there wouldn't be half the fuss.
