In 2001, Labour manifesto also explicitly stated student tuition fees would not rise. Two years later, they trebled. Where was the mandate?

@JuliaHB1 Not to worry. Your Tories have increased them dramatically since. -
@hoddles10 yes, and I am equally appalled by that. -
@JuliaHB1@hoddles10 You do realise that the current leader of the Labour Party agrees with you on tuition fees? -
@robertcp@hoddles10 yes, I don't pick my opinions on party lines or based on who else agrees with me. I go with the facts and my morals. -
@JuliaHB1@hoddles10 Just seen you on#bbctw. Your opinions are clearly on the right. Nothing wrong with that.

@JuliaHB1 In their 1997 manifesto, as I remember. -
@shinyford yes but not explicit that they'd charge upfront fees, just as Osborne was not specific about where welfare cuts would come from -
.
@JuliaHB1 What about his promise during the debates though? -
@shinyford it was a confused and confusing at statement that could be taken both ways -
.
@JuliaHB1 Forgive me, but it sounded fairly categorical to me. "Will you cut them?" "No." -
@shinyford the question was about child benefit as well -
.
@JuliaHB1 Not according to the transcript it wasn't. http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/8337702 … -

@JuliaHB1 Here you go again, where is your compassion. Sometimes you have to meet people half way, these are people lives were talking about -
@WeVote4Change I have plenty of compassion for people who need it -
@JuliaHB1 - You obviously have a view on who is entitled to it and who isn't, please tell -
@WeVote4Change people working full time or who can only work part time for a good reason - and childcare is not a good reason -
@JuliaHB1 The Tory's were not elected to commit acts of cruelty, they were elected to balance the books, they need to re-think, start again -
@WeVote4Change cruelty? You're bonkers. -
@JuliaHB1 - Now come on, there no need to call anybody names like that, look inside your heart and think!!! -
@JuliaHB1 So your saying, that pushing people into poverty with no safety net, isn't cruel? Wow - 2 more replies
