That "sitting pretty" caption has to be deliberately ironic... has she made the room as horrific as possible so she can look good in comparison?

Load of crap. Most of that speciously-calculated sum is university fees. The universities get that money, not her (the clue's in the name). What is disgusting is that not everybody gets that help with university fees. Scrap the fees, scrap the student loans, and bring back grants with parental contributions based on earnings.Comment

I see a greater flaw with expecting parental contribution where parents have enough of an income, as it doesn't look at the family's outgoings and realistic affordability. It also assumes that paying parents will not interfere in their children's choices of subject, university, etc., when clearly many do then put a lot of pressure on their offspring to go down the route they want them to go down.
Anyway, that woman could and would do more for her kids if she went back to work, had them take tuition fee and maintenance loans but would use her own cash to subsidise their living costs. Cause that, depending on where you're studying is tough to manage (though doable) on just student loans/bursaries and a part-time job.Last edited by formant; 28 March 2013, 08:15.Comment

never understood why if you are 18 and effectively no longer your parents responsibility their earnings (which you are no longer entitled to) make any difference to the personal loan you are given to pay for your training that will make you more successful over your life?
Give everyone the same basic deal, possibly allow some an enhanced loan if they are less likely to be able to afford to support themselves. But again why do taxpayers earning little more or less than benefit claimants have to subsidise the offspring of those that may not have strived as hard as they did.
Convince me everyone on benefits is struggling and going without and I might change my mind but cases such as these prove me right.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
