Not everyone is going to be a well paid lawyer you know. By raising the tuition fees, he is going to cripple a lot of people who want to do better in their life.
Just remember, his eductaion was paid for by the government. Why shouldn't mine.
By the way, i have to pay the full load for tuition, fees, parents can't afford to pay that much, and i get the minimum loan, which does not even cover my rent. Thats why to pay for my education, i have to skip lectures and classes, so i can work to afford it. Pathetic

Don't take this the wrong way, but try getting a job, paying your stamp for 15 years, barely covering your rent, and being told that although I paid my way my entire adult working life, I get sweet FA from our government such as affordable housing, discounts on council tax, any chance of a state pension by the time I retire etc etc...?
University education is a luxury, not a necessity. You want it, you pay for it.
