Further to what TC says, look at the economic reality…

And if there’s no money left, then where’s the money coming from to load more strain on to the public finances with larger write-off costs?

Life for people who are rich will always be easier – they’re rich. So what? Life sucks.

I don’t complain about the multi millionaire Countess Toff, Harriet Harman who went to the same school as Osborne because she’s rich. I complain because she’s a hypocrite whose husband Jack Dromey got elected under her “All woman shortlist” which stinks.

All you are displaying is the politics on envy and with the Labour leader being a tax avoiding property millionaire who was in the treasury when Brown rewarded the bankers with deregulation I feel your comments are misguided.

Tories are Tories. I expect it from them.

I do not expect Labour leaders to be people who haven’t worked a single day in their whole life because by being so they should be considered the hypocrites which they clearly are.

Alan Johnson should be leader although in fairness Miliband wasn’t elected by Labour members or Labour MP’s.

Regarding EMA – tough I’m afraid. Like the Labour Treasury Minister said there was no money left…

How do you suggest that students earn £9,000, on top of accommodation and other living costs? In my city, which is cheaper than most, the minimum Universities suggest you need per year for living costs is £7,000. The maximum you can expect in ‘maintenance loans’ these days is around £4,000.

Simply put; the rich can afford not to work, the poor, if they want to stay out of debt, must have a £16,000 part time job. Likely? Even if they take on the debt, the detrimental effect that working while studying has can be substantial.

And there is money left: its in the banks, the banker’s bonuses, people like Osborne’s trust funds etc etc.
