Who decides what is acceptable?

This is a great question in regards to the law.

All the time a judge will ask what the 'reasonable man' should do and will subsequently decide a case on that basis.

In reality saying 'the reasonable man would do this...' is just a disguised way of saying 'I believe that you should have done this...'

Who is anyone to judge anyone else, really?

However, making a University education depend on one's monetary resources is utterly wrong.

Yeah - right :rolleyes: If your parents are on a low income then you will continue to get subsidies and bursaries towards your university fees (as happens at the moment), and the very well off will continue to get daddy to pay the fees up-front as always.

It's us middle-income families who be worst-off (again) as a result of the changes. :(

Because wealthy people just pay the money (or mumsy does) without needing to take the loan at all, meaning fewer of them will reject university on cost?

I don't get your point - The only reason to reject university on cost is if you think you will earn the same or more without getting a degree!

The important thing is that because you don't actually pay anything until you are in a well paying job (and don't pay at all if you never earn enough) - it doesn't actually prevent anyone from going to university rich or poor.

Those Rich kids whose parents fund them through uni also lose out as that money would otherwise no doubt have been gifted to them as perhaps a deposit for a house or as an inheritance anyway!

The real difference these changes make is that more of the cost of university is funded by the individuals who go rather than all taxpayers as a whole.
 
I think it's perfectly acceptable to shout TORY SCUM but not LABOUR SCUM.

No prizes for guessing why. That crowd just happened to be pro-Labour/LibDem.
