IS Des Moffat really advocating that students should face £3,000 a year tuition fees (letters Dec 2) and that this will make more young people go to university especially those from a poorer background? Someone is quite obviously living in cloud cuckoo land.
More than anything else, it is the very fear of being tens of thousands of pounds in debt upon graduating that is likely to put people off from going to university.
The Labour Party and its members really don't appear to realise that as a graduate you are more likely to earn a higher wage? If you earn more, you invariably pay more tax. More tax means more money back into the government coffers. This really is just the politics of envy talking.
And what if a student based here in Swindon rented a house. Well they would have been faced with Labour's 32 per cent council tax hike over the last two years. It really is just tax, tax, tax with Labour and their cohorts.
