So in this Britain, what your saying is, only the rich should be able to get ahead, only the rich should be able to get the education, to get them the good jobs, but widen the gap between rich and poor.
I do sympathise with your situation orangebird, and maybe thats why people do want to go to university, that can get them jobs to pay for the future. Unfortunetly Blair has decided that only people who can afford £3000 per year will be able to do that. If was starting uni looking at £3000 minimum then i would have to think twice
