UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The question is how much it costs to fund higher education. The money goes via the students or the universities but it still needs to be paid. Even in my day the 3k I paid for tuition didn't cover what it cost the university to run my course. With the drop in foreign students (who pay a lot more) universities have a funding crisis and a gap to be filled.
I assume Scottish students don't get the full amount of they go to an English university? They have to take out loans to?
