"I thought Labour's policy was to abolish them? But then I have been to bed since then." Wasn't that the lib dems or were the ones that did not want them in the first place while in coalition | |||

"I thought Labour's policy was to abolish them? But then I have been to bed since then." Labour did say that, then a u-turn, now a half-arsed attempt to appeal to students. | |||

"Labour can put forward any policies they wish. The only problem now, is that multiple U turns, leaves one feeling that you can't believe anything SKS says." It does leave a bad taste and dilutes trust. I don’t know why politicians in opposition cannot always say... “We want to do policy xyz but will not be able to know for sure until we are in Govt and can take a look at the books” | |||

"I got a grant & tuition fees paid. why is the country so much poorer now that we cannot afford to educate the young? or look after old people ?" I don't think it's a case the country cannot afford it anymore. My opinion is that they don't want poorer people to have the same opportunities, plus a less educated population is easier to control. | |||

"Boomers and others had grants and free tuition. It was viewed as an investment in the country. Making people pay is viewed as a way of the rich and middle classes keeping the rest down. None, or all, of that may be true but it's what people believe is true in politics that matters, not what the truth actually is. " Relatively few “boomers” went to university compared with now and usually went on to obtain useful degrees unlike many today!! | |||

"Starmer is Thatcherism in a Red Tie…. as were Blair & Brown, How do we rescue the Labor party? you dont the labour party of years ago is dead and buried and aint coming back its a party for the middle class now" An excellent question-are we a Corporatocracy or Bankocracy? We certainly aren’t a democracy The country solely exists on borrowing so it isn’t too much of a stretch to suggest that the banks & private enterprise & investors dictate our choices in political choice and leadership. | |||

"Starmer is Thatcherism in a Red Tie…. as were Blair & Brown, How do we rescue the Labor party? you dont the labour party of years ago is dead and buried and aint coming back its a party for the middle class now" Thatcherism appeals to the worst instincts of the middle classes rather than their best instincts . | |||

I went to Harper Adams & did an HND in Agriculture last time I looked most of my fellow students are no longer involved in Agriculture. often life does not turn out as planned | |||

Subsequently 15% of MPs didn't go to university. Maybe we should ban that too seeing as it's not far away from those who did go to Oxbridge. Or maybe we only ban Oxbridge, in which case they'll just go to LSE or Manchester, then, once those increase their shares to beyond Oxbridge current figures we can ban them too  | |||

"I'd be a fan of bursaries for certain industries when in need. Kind of like a skilled training list. We need 40000 docs? No problem, we'll make 40000 bursaries available. Over time that will pay off. Why not most industries you would get sponsored buy an employer to get a degree and a job at the end. Tied to work for x years or pay back the cost. Probably less in universities but the ones that are going are probably the best and have a job at the end.." Degrees mean nothing in a skilled job that takes years to master, I would pick someone that are time served in a profession for 20 odd years over someone with a new degree. | |||

"Look man you hit me with this: “Now they're Nazis You've lost the argument now, enjoy your afternoon”
This isn’t being sarcastic?
If you're new to internet forums, Godwin's Law is that the first person to make a comparison with the Nazis has lost the argument. You brought up the comparison, so you lose. That wasn't sarcasm, that was just F&F dismissing your line of reasoning.
Sorry to burst your bubble but we have the most right wing/fascist government ever.
Fascist government
What did I miss in the last 13 years?

"Starmer is Thatcherism in a Red Tie…. as were Blair & Brown, How do we rescue the Labor party? " You don't, anyone who isn't a centrist will just get the Corbyn treatment by the media.

If most people are in min wage and the gaps are specialised we'll paid roles, there may be value in retraining. " Vacancies are high because employers don’t want to pay to train people to carry out the roles, not because there is more opportunity than ever before Unemployment is low because zero hour contracts are included in the figures There’s a reason they got rid of tax credits. Now there are no longer any official figures for “in work benefits” - ie people who work full time but don’t earn enough to live The only real solution is for education to be made free Look at the ongoing situation with the lack of HGV drivers Everyone needs them. Nobody wants to pay for them. Drivers don’t earn enough to pay for themselves because they’re on “in work benefits” And it doesn’t stop there. Specialist engineering sectors are lacking skills and so the work is having to be sent abroad despite the market preferring British engineers The solution is free education I always find it remarkable that the people that say you can’t have everything for free are also the first to say you have to spend money to make money How about the government invests in its people and economy by offering free education You have to spend money to make money after all | |||

They're all backstabbers. I'll retract the 'left enough' statement.
You mention last century, does that mean you voted Blair? Starmer is very much Blairesque
Would you vote for Braverman?"I did vote Blair. I would describe my politics has a mixture of some traditional Labour policies and Conservative policies. Which probably makes me a centrist. Unfortunately both parties have failed their traditional voters and have become populist parties. Has a person who has feeling for his fellow man or woman, asking if I would vote for Braverman is just silly. | |||

Where did I say left enough. Ive not voted for Labour for since the last century ended. I've voted Conservative after that.
Just because I detest another Johnson wannabe and backstabbers, dont think you know my politics.
They're all backstabbers. I'll retract the 'left enough' statement.
You mention last century, does that mean you voted Blair? Starmer is very much Blairesque
Would you vote for Braverman?
I did vote Blair. I would describe my politics has a mixture of some traditional Labour policies and Conservative policies. Which probably makes me a centrist. Unfortunately both parties have failed their traditional voters and have become populist parties.
Has a person who has feeling for his fellow man or woman, asking if I would vote for Braverman is just silly."Well I asked as she's a person in power who has strong principles and that seemed to be one of your criteria. | |||

Another one of countless politicians that don't seem to have any strong principles of their own. Things will always Centre around the middle ground. That’s why it’s the middle Lots of things people like, nothing that people love It’s lazy, arrogant, and defeatist It’s the easy road and never needs to consider what people actually want.

I also done one about a month back so I'm well aware of media bias
Most of Corbyns proposals weren't left wing? Really?
The Tories brought half of them in after saying they shouldn’t be, so I suppose it depends on what you define as left wing
That didn't answer my question.
What’s your question?
Do you really believe Corbyns manifesto wasn't left wing?
It was left wing compared to what we’ve experienced in the past couple of decades. Other nations (some Scandinavians, for example) would consider it very moderate."I hate to break it to you, buddy. We're not in Scandinavia | |||

Politics ebbs and flows, does it not? Just as the British public are turning away from the tories. "Certainly seems to have ebbed somewhat in Europe who appear to be on a lurch to the right. Let’s see what happens here I am not writing the the tories off yet. The same old stale politics never seems to change here | |||
