Our lying leaders, who would have had their university fees paid by the taxpayer, claim that the deficit means today’s students must pay a fortune for their education. This is a bunch of lies. What is happening is that the ruling generation has put its own financial well-being before that of young people. If the government was to set a maximum public-sector pension of say the average wage (�26,000 a year), they would save so much money that there would be�little need to charge university fees at all. But that would hit the pockets of our�arrogant, thieving�leaders, so it will never happen.
At the centre of these lies�is universities minister David Willets who I believe to be a greedy, self-serving hypocrite. He wrote a book bemoaning how the babyboomers had taken their children’s future and why they should give it back. But�he seems more than happy to impoverish today’s students so that he and his mates can live the rest of their lives in taxpayer-funded luxury.
