Did you know Julia agrees with free education,she got full grant for uni as her mum was so poor. Shame the kids living in poverty now won't be healthy, well educated or well housed enough due to tory austerity to go to uni and take on the huge debt she was lucky enough not to get

Well don't know about that apparently her father was a GP? Did you know
@BorisJohnson got a full grant while he was a wealthy Bullingdon? Just saying like, how? -
Because the system was different back then. It’s now been made more equitable. Why complain about the past?

Better than the taxpayers paying for everything. Besides, if you don’t earn enough, you never pay it back.

So the tax payers still pay? But pay more to a middle man loan company? Education is everyone's right and it is an investment for the country, I think any right minded person would agree. No it's about putting our kids off applying, rich always fiddled the grants anyway.

I've repeatedly said that I'm no fan of capitalism, I feel it's those that care the least that do the best. It is also so open to abuse. However, it is by far the best and most successful economic system modern civilisation has come up with so far

So you would introduce socialist policies to redistribute wealth regardless of merit but thats not how it works. Capitalism’s inherent vice is the unequal sharing of weath, but it is still the best system we have at the moment.

renationalising is specifically anti-capitalist. Thats what I’m saying those are socialist policies that contradict Capitalist market policies. Whether they are popular or not is irrelevant.
