Thinking about it, with Corbyn's promise, and May's coalition, do you reckon we'll all get St Guinness Day off..unless you're a barmaid of course.
 
Can't wait for the students to realise they're not getting free Uni places and we're still leaving the EU despite what uncle Jeremy told them.
 
On tuition fees, it's true that the 'debt' isn't actually a big issue for many. Certainly the pre-2012 starters when the costs went up and loans changed. I started just before then and my debt is something like £30k but I don't pay much back and I only pay what I do because the degree has helped me to get a job. It's pretty risk free.

The post-2012 starters are having the terms of their loans changed retrospectively meaning they'll pay back more over time. It's completely wrong but somehow allowed, a typically nasty Tory policy.

But the biggest issue for students is the costs they face when they're studying. The universities come up with some ridiculous fees for **** all and accomodation is a rip-off making it hard for some to get by without the help of their parents.

Was there ever a time when students didn't get by without help from their parents, or a bit of work thrown in?

Students shouldn't have to work. Ffs we should be giving them ferraris and offering to bathe them and look after their house. They are the future!
