Including Interest at 3% above inflation and Maintenance loans depending on where you study, still comes out at -
Starting salary of £25k = 24 years to pay off initial £40k of debt.
The Maintenance loan is another divisive topic, as in the ability to live while studying. That 'burden' falls on the parents of students, if the parents can't afford it, then the loan route it is. Sort of, harks back to the days when it was the ability to pay, that got you an education? Maybe, a little dramatic (given the timescale the loan is repaid) but, the principle is the same.
Pedalling a modern day 'Everton are Catholic' blind bigotry or top class wumming?
*shrugs
Wumming obvs; It's Chico ffs.
Nothing about religion in there degsy you monster. Just about political hypocrisy.
Don't pay back one penny till you earn about 18k per annum. No set amounts for repayment. Just depends on each months earnings.

I hear what you're saying, but I'm not sure it's something which is going to make swing voters vote Labour.
Re
Yea, it should do, but you've said yourself, they might not even bother voting. If I was being 100% honest, I'd say that any student who couldn't be arsed voting for something which will make them better off shouldn't really be at Uni. After all, a University education is supposed to be a sign of some intelligence, and they'd have failed my entrance criteria !
£21k now I think.
Regardless, nobody should be put off going to Uni because of the 'debt', if they are then they have been misinformed about the financial realities of it.
It's akin to being put off going to uni because of the extra tax your (probable) higher income will trigger.
God knows Tubey just watching Abbott now, making a show of herself.
Listen to this though, seriously.

It's beggars belief that she's on the front bench of a shadow cabinet. It's actually beggars belief she's working anywhere more mentally demanding than a McDonald's drive thru actually, but ho hum.
Agree that they're a bit of a liability, but I'd rather them than Rudd, Johnson and Jeremy friggin Hunt.
Nah come on though... they are not very nice people, but Abbott and Thornberry are actually incredibly incompetent. They shouldn't be anywhere near the front bench, and the fact they are is symptomatic of Corbyn having no access to any even somewhat talented MPs in his own party due to a lack of support.
Let's not go over the last part again mate. All I can say is that I'd rather have well-meaning but incompetent over mean-spirited and still incompetent.
Diane Abbott has just had a bad time this am on LBC promoting that Labour would increase police officers by 10,000 if they were elected - money coming from altering the Corporation tax - asked simply how much would the cost - silence err er e rr err £300, 0000 - interviewer - what for the wages of 10, 000 extra policeman - err err err err err -
