        @BBCBreaking parental income should not be taken into consideration. Discrimination.

        "@BBCBreaking - fine for those students suited to an Oxbridge #education, but what about the other 99%? Thoughts? http://linkd.in/Nxzc5P

        @BBCBreaking if you think student are poor you're mistaken. Ipads galore here in Manchester, they could always study part time and work.

        @BBCBreaking This is ok in terms of funding, but @thisruralwife is right. Parental income is irrelevant - it's about how the student lives!
