NATIONALISE STUDENT DEBT
A petition to the Government to nationalise all student debt.
We note that the Government has nationalised the debt of banks that have run into financial difficulty, and believes that graduates should be afforded the same treatment.
Graduates pay an extra 9% tax on all their income over £15,000 leaving many struggling to pay housing costs and bills.
Graduates currently owe the Government in excess of £16bn – far less than the total used to nationalise either Northern Rock or Bradford and Bingley.
Therefore graduate debt should be written off and all fees cancelled for current students.
GO TO THIS LINK AND SIGN THE PETITION!!!

The difference being that none of the loans made by the banks have been written off and will be still collected in?0
