    We got shfted again!

    'And even if every EU student refused to pay back the UK government loans they are entitled to receive for tuition fees, the economy would still benefit', the report said

    Read and weep - as though they need encouragement, like the moron that came to tell us here what the benefits are from 'educating' someone like him - that can't f'n spell!.

    Note that they are talking about NON-EU students here, as all the EU ones have their fees paisd as a loan and then 'collected' back from their own countries - as and when they can afford to!!!!!

    Thats quite a lot of dough.

    I know quite a few international students, there are some colleges which charge up to £10,000 a term (for gcses/a levels).

    I think as semi educated people, some people here need to get off the whole "too many bloody foreigners" in the UK and open their eyes to the bigger picture.
    We don't mind Johny foreigner coming here and spending money, we just want him to go home afterwards.
    It's simple mathematics.
    Ie. how many people can you cram into a mini and still be expected to drive it safely and economically

    International students from non-EU countries pay at least £3.3bn a year on tuition fees and living expenses

    ... as suggested in a think tank report that has been shrugged off by a government minister.

    This is because students pay fees and spend money on food and rent. Once they have graduated, they might work in the UK and pay taxes here, the report says.

    ...or might not.

    We already have thousands of foreigners that can’t even speak the language of the country they choose to reside in FFS, how about educating them for a start?
