    I do not see that anyone that has yet to pay any tax into the system has any right to complain about how it is spent.

    So mothers who have never worked should be quiet then? Disabled persons whom have always been on incapacity benefit?

    Subsidised tuition fees?

    Worth it to have a better educated workforce in my opinion. OK there's arguments against certain aspects of this i.e. the 50% target, but generally it is better.

    I take it you're no big fan of students?

    OK with certain exceptions, eg those unable to work. As far as mothers go, if they are a single parent who has never contributed in their life ( and neither has their partner) I fail to see why they should have any say in how taxpayers money is spent, they have decided to opt out of the system.

    Indeed. But what about mothers who have children whilst their partner works?

    No problem with students, just cannot see what right they have to disrupt the lives of the people who are having to pay them.
