Oh look, Mr B.Liar is trying to get the student/ex student vote.

He's put the threshold up on repayments for student loans.

Now you have to earn £15,000 a year to make any repayments. (Instead of £10,000).

Now I pay nothing again. But he'll not get my vote.

Ah ok.

I'm reminded of what my uncle always used to tell me around budget time - whatever the government is giving you with one hand, they're most likely taking double back with the other

Student loans eahh, well like the pensioners I think you lot are bieng so unfair, why. Well first of all you don't have to pay nothing back untill your on a wage capable of covering it. It's interest free, and it allows you when your not working, to not have to pay anthing back untill you get that job.

Pensioners are the same, they wail on about getting there pension at 65 because it's there right. well I say suffer for another 5 years, whats your problem! Do you realise that pensioners now live longer so to compare it with when the system first come out is not only stupid but ignorant and wrong. I wouldn't have a problem working another 5 years, is it really such a crime? I don't think so.

Scuse me; I need to nip away from my desk in order to laugh heartily at the irony of kevstar making this statement...

I think the pensioner's problem is that they don't have enough money so that in winter they have to chose between eating (one meal a day) or heating (one room in the house).

Or maybe things have improved now.
