    The system worked fine until Tony Blair decided he wanted 50% of population to have a degree when not that number of jobs need it. Many courses that were better taught through polytechnics and colleges were then upgraded to degree status and we couldn't afford to support that number of students in the way we had earlier.

    As Howard and others have said above, there's a good case for free tuition for those professions that we need and are a benefit to society once qualified. The argument that if someone is earning less than £21000 then they don't have to repay anything highlights what's wrong at present - if you can't earn that with a degree then it was a waste of time getting it.

    I'm off for lunch at the Univ of Kent today, might be an interesting time.
