Students must be supported

We should all be listening to those students who demonstrated in such large numbers in Hastings and throughout the country against the Government’s plans to force our brightest young people into massive debt before they’ve even started their working life.

Ms Rudd asks us to look at the bigger picture and she is right though not in the way she thinks. The bigger picture is that every time we visit a doctor, take medicine developed by scientists, use a building designed by an architect or a road built by engineers, let alone call upon the skills of a solicitor, an accountant or a teacher, we benefit from graduates and other highly trained people.
