Where did I write that? Point is it's what he'd plan for if he was in power and there is already substantial support among Tory factions for doing the same - small state, private enterprise is always better. Plus as leader he basically tells people what to do via the whips. Toe the party line...

Let's say someone is a low earner for the first ten years after graduating. They're not paying it back, but it's accruing interest. After that time they start earning money, so now are liable to pay it back. Only now it's a much bigger debt because of the interest and eats into that higher pay...

The interest levels were much lower. Admittedly if a person was a lower earner then it would take them longer to pay back and so interest would accrue anyway. Although the amount of time before debts were written off was slightly shorter (and current plans suggest it will be increased again to...

Hunt ideologically would be awful. basically would dismantle public services and privatise the lot. Wrote a huge paper about why the NHS should be privatised.

So the choice is remain a low earner so you don't pay or earn more money and we'll take loads off you.

But if they're not going to earn enough to pay back the loans, what's their incentive for going onto the course in the first place? It's a waste of time and effort. While I agree the expansion of HE has created a lot of 'fluff' courses that have reduced the worth and prestige of a degree and...

But it's hardly enticing those worse off in society into higher education. Of course when you were uni age, tuition was free, grants were available and signing on was possible. As usual, anything that becomes available to the 'lower orders' that was once the preserve of the privileged, they...

So morally above it he's using the same excuse as everyone else involved. Amazing how so many people thought they were at a meeting yet don't seem to be questioning why there was drinks, sandwiches, quizzes and no actual work. Though I guess a quiz could be considered training for many of...

These aren't 'gaffes'. Gaffes as things that are done unwittingly that paint you in a bad light. This is flagrant, deliberate law-breaking by someone who doesn't think the rules apply to him.

Johnson would absolutely thrown someone under the bus to save himself. It wasn't called 'Operation Save Big Dog' because he values other people.

She heard the cheese was imported and refused to go.

I agree. if we had seasons like the last few years in perpetuity I'd be more than happy. BUT, our finances are still precarious and so for that security I'd want to get promoted, even if we had the expectation of getting relegated. Fear is it would ruin momentum and destroy confidence, and of...

Was just about to mention the IR35 thing if only working for one company - HMRC will likely see you as an employee, even though you're not doing it for tax purposes. I doubt the fact your employer not having a UK presence would make a difference. It may be you could set up as a sole trader -...

I think you need to pay more attention to this. The consequences are that there are many, many families that will forever have the heartbreak of not being able to see their loved ones and tell them they loved them before they died. To find out the person that told them they couldn't do that...

Impressive! Do you connect all the steering wheels with some sort of connecting rod?

Except that such parties were banned at the time. Maybe we should let those in Sniffer's Corner try the excuse that it's fine for them to snort coke in the toilets because in the past it wasn't illegal.

It serves no purpose other than removing a lying, law-breaking individual from the highest office in the land. I'd consider that to be quite a good purpose. As for wasting government time and money, we're talking about the man that bought water cannons that couldn't be used legally, spent a...

I think we have Labour's next election slogan.

I'm pretty sure people elected him on the implied expectation he would follow the rules of the country. He's broken that and so any contract is now null and void. Removing him won't bring anyone's loved one's back, but it'd stop the feckless halfwit endangering any more. If he can't be arsed to...
