Anyway, seems that student debt will be privatised - but to do so will require upping the interest rates the poor buggers are paying. Nothing like taxing the strivers is there?

It now looks like the prat is seriously considering allowing hedge funds and vulture capitalists to take over or open schools. So we are basically comoditising our children's education.

As each day goes by, I despair if we will ever get to the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm frankly amazed that the British public now seem to have become so emasculated that they blindly follow the Judas lamb onto the slaughterman's knife

It will improve education standards by introducing competition and will mean it doesn't soak-up tons of taxpayer's money.
You know, like it did on the railways and water provision.

I did wonder yesterday if this business of MPs being "unable" to reject the recommended pay rise would actually be that. While we're all taking one for the team, they aren't joining us.

If Waterloo Road has taught us anything, it's that the philanthropy model of education doesn't work.
