    It isn't Labour policy to write off existing debt, but Corbyn has referenced it as something he would like to address.

    Jeremy Corbyn Wants To Wipe Student Debt... But He's Not Sure How He's Going To Pay For It | HuffPost UK
    What's he worried about, it's only £4.5 billion per year, approx. When did £9k tuition fees come in? 7 years ago? That's a mere £31.5 billion. Piece of piss for an economic genius like Corbyn.
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      4.5 blllion a year would be 25 pounds a year for the average tax payer, who currently pays about 5 grand in tax.

      2 quid a month isn't exactly going to break the bank.

            So where's that £31.5 billion that has been saved gone, then?

                    Diane Abbott maths, at £25 per head we'd need 180 million taxpayers!
                    "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero
