    Over 2 years since I started this thread. Finally this issue is picking up traction.

    Finally people are questioning how Studen Loans can morally take money from people struggling to survive off minimum wage.

    I am pleased that this issue is now getting some attention, and also the freezing of the plan 2 repayment thresholds for 3 years from 2027, which was announced in the November budget but the general media did not report on much at the time. Affected graduates need to write to their MPs, they need to protest like the pensioners and the farmers.
