Just a few facts about tuition fees, the new level of charges in 2012 are £6000 and £9000 for the likes of Oxbridge et al. The Brown report, that's John Brown ex-BP and not Gordon, was initiated by the previous Labour government who would have no doubt implemented them without all the caveats in the present legislation.
Anyone on £21,000, the new threshold for payment, will actually pay significantly less than now. Finally it was Labour that introduced tuition fees in the first place, after realising that their stated goal of having 50% of people in higher education was totally unaffordable. The decision to convert so many former polytechnics into universities was fundamentally flawed and we are now reaping the whirlwind from that piss poor decision in the nineties.
