to me I would not have a proplem with anyone having extra education at university having a "grant" to pay for those fees . but only if that grant was paid by the Government and not the local council of whatever political leaning...it opens would open up old sores and could end up with sorting out your own...so why even bring up this matter?.. I'll tell you.. it's because the Tories always try to cushion us into this sort of degrade of anything that we know is not right with the hope that one day it will be made real.
