Encouraging the status quo in education balance of 7% out the state system should be encouraged yes as a further influx of pupils into an already bloated state system cannot be seen as a positive thing
But you defend tax breaks for private schools? All in it together eh?
Nope, I'm suggesting that a better qualified workforce allows us to bemore competitive in this 'ere free market we're hurtling towards, and that the country and the economy will imrpove due to the competitive advantage we'll be giving ourselves.No its not. If what you are suggesting is that graduates actually get higher wages the notion that has to be funded by non attending workers through increased taxation is absurd.
Seems quite clear what his intention was.
... while nurses, who saves lives daily, are forced to fucking starve.
Exactly.
He's been found out.
Even his own Education Minister Nick Gibb has said the Labour leader should apologise for trying to dupe young voters.

What would be interesting is how many people against getting rid of tuition fees are of a generation where, if they went to University, they could take advantage of not only no tuition fees to pay, but also grants to, well... exist.

And therefore, the quality of life for those non attending workers will be better, too.
I know it's an absurd notion to try and raise everybody up rather than drag the majority down...
what part of he didn't say it are you struggling with?
You do also realise that the mail tells lies don't you?
Also, reducing the national deficit has been in every tory manifesto since 2010 and its actually increased during each of their terms in parliament, must have missed you calling for their apology.
Slight correction. The deficit has actually come down by about half since 2010 Tory government. it's the national debt which has over doubled under the tories. Up to around 1.7 trillion now which is eye watering. End of the day labour fucked the economy over borrowing more than we ever could pay and tories have compounded the debt by double. I don't trust any of them.
Nevertheless the debt as a percentage of GDP is less than France & Canada around 92%.
Germany & USA are more like 70-75% and that is where the country needs to be.
What we don't need is more spending like McDonell wants to push the % up to the level of Italy (132%) or Portugal(126%)!
Until the banking crisis it was between 30 and 40% for years. It shot up to 60% after the banking crisis and is now at 86%, the highest since the 60s and is predicted to hit 88% this year.What's the UK GDP? The rule is once you get over 100-110% you are starting to hit major problems

Turns out its not a reason a significant number of students voted Labour. That or the fact Corbyn never actually said he'd wipe the debt hasn't stopped the story rumbling on all week.It wouldn't be a story if people didn't believe that's what they were suggesting during the campaign and it is important as it's the reason why such a significant number of young people/students (and parents of students) probably voted for Corbyn.
A week on and the non story about student debt is still alive but there's been little to no coverage of those other points.All of the other points raised above are important and I'm sure are being/will be scrutinised but for once just accept a point rather than blindly arguing in support.
What happened to the Conservative pledge to cap energy bills? Massive furore about a promise Labour didn't even make and a huge broken Conservative one - silence.

Brexit made the Conservatives drop an election pledge?Brexits fault. (Standard answer these days)

I know you're only taking the piss but it's deflecting because you can't answer as to why they've lied again.

Have to laugh at the Daily Mail moaning about how long its taking people to get through customs as they're doing more thorough border checks.
Apropos duping young voters...... I am waiting for the day where rags like the Mail have to apologise for their lies and hate which have duped many people into voting for Brexit. The clown Farage wants youngsters ( never called anyone a youngster in my life ) to watch Dunkirk. A pity there isn't a prelude which explains why Dunkirk happened in the first place.
Yes, and I would agree with you if they were they only ones doing it. The sheer tripe coming from The Independent etc just balances it the other way thoigh. In fact it almost certainly tips it in its favour.
There have been extra checks at the smaller airports I have flown in and out of.It's all complete bullshit.
There are no extra checks. I've been through 14 airports in 3 months and it's down almost exclusively to lack of organisation and staffing.
Like the latest tripe about creating more bureaucrats to do the job of Brussels?
"
Cabinet Office minister Chris Skidmore said among new offices established will be those required to run regulatory regimes currently under the watch of Brussels.
In an interview with Civil Service World, he said: “There are several organisations that will be created through Brexit.
“You’re looking at 20-plus public bodies being created through Brexit – and the commitment there is getting those outside of London.”
Obviously tripe. We wouldn't be creating more bureaucrats to replace Brussels would we? After all we are leaving to have less bureaucracy..... Typical Independent sad.... Or is it that the Independent keeps pointing out the lunacy and contradictions of Brexit? Better stick to the Mail if you want to hear a positive slant on this cock up. You seem to think that the Mail is more reliable.
Having regulatory bodies to oversee 28 countries seems more sensible than having 28 countries with their own regulatory bodies. The U.K. Will be duplicating Brussels. The only difference being we can now moan about our own bureaucracy instead of Brussels. Instead of the hated Eurocrats we can call ours Britocrats.

The Cabinet Papers | Sterling devalued and the IMF loanIrrelevant. In the 70's it was much lower than now but the IMF has to bail us out and interest rates were 25%
Following the agreement with the IMF, the overall economic and financial picture improved. Interest rates were soon reduced and the pound quickly appreciated in value. By the end of 1977, partly as a result of new oil revenues, there were improvements in the balance of trade. Britain did not need to draw the full loan from the IMF.
Oh I'll take the bet if you like - I've not even said there won't be an election however if done deal is agreed with the unionists that will see them through the year.
Hello hello
It's still nowhere near as wide of the mark as your landslide and destruction of the Labour party forever predictions.
Well opinion polls suggest otherwise. I’ll nominate a charity shortly - do donations to the Tory party count?
