Tuition Fees

Thing is 40K is a lot of debt to be saddled with. Doesn't matter how long you have to pay it.
It is still a huge debt with interest accruing on it hanging over your head and could make an awful lot of difference to whether you would be able to buy a house or not etc etc. Also many students eventually marry other students so that's a double liability.

There's no interest until you reach a certain pay, can't remember exactly what but it's something like £40k/year, in which case you could pay it off in a year or 2 anyway...

Even though I don't agree with what's happening with the rises, I completely discourage what's happened in the protests. There is no need for it, they damaged members of the royal family's car. They didn't have anything to do with the decision and also what I've seen on the sky news website with protests being violent towards police officers. It's completely out of order..

There's the problem, Sky News, they always always put scaremongering above any actual fact. They sacrifice the truth for ratings, or hysteria that makes more people watch them. A giant, hefty majority of the protests were entirely peaceful and if only the media didn't concentrate on the idiots who probably aren't even students/ looking for an excuse then we'd have a much better state of affairs.

By the way, did Sky News show the police throwing people out of their wheelchairs or battering hands of little girls who just so happened to be nearby? Nope? Thought so.

Pay a £40k debt in 2 years on £40k p/a? For someone who claims he wants to go to Oxford your maths is abysmal.

Actually, I quoted earlier in the week that you could pay off your debt in 3/4 years easily. 20 Grand each year and 20 grand to spend? It is possible, however will people actually start saving or spend?
