Maybe Labour will clarify their costing...

[Eric Cartman]

I would imagine that the cheapest option from the above wish list would be scrapping tuition fees. A mere £10bn per annum

All very noble ideals, but who's going to be paying for it?

Well it benefits everyone to have as educated workforce as possible. Unfortunately university has become about delaying entering the workplace (in a lot of cases) while learning almost nothing useful. Domestically it was possibly the worst move labour made in government in my opinion, so hard to reverse the trend of university being the default. The whole system is designed to load debt onto kids and is mental really.

Part of the blame should be placed on further education itself. They shouldnt be offering some of the crappy courses that they do but like everyone else these days they cant resist going for the cash.

I must be very drunk because I agree with nearly everything Eric has just written. I used to think he was a moron. Here's a question for historians on here. What was the contribution of our universities to the industrial revolution? The answer is zero.

I think they should probably wait and see what is in the published manifesto.

Ye I was thinking that.

Slandering Labour and it isn't even their manifesto yet.

I do agree rail effects so many lives, however that central control efficiency will it work ? does it bring with it old fashioned power struggles unions v government , it needs to be a protected service to the public as per policing, people should not be held to ransom . .

I don't understand why or how this country has become so accepting of big business holding us to ransom but so scared of a small group of normal people doing it.
