    Which is how it works in Aus. Financial help with medical studies in exchange for the health dept. choosing your first few years placements. Invariably rural towns. I can confirm it makes for well tuned nurses.

    Used to be things here called cadetships that worked similarly.

    I reject your assumptions of "achievement" ... my value base is quite different to yours ...

    (And no, I don't hate "rich pricks" I hate the system that allows such an uneven distribution of wealth ...)
    Meh. You sound like a duck, walk like a duck...

    And have the usual duck's idea of what uneven wealth distribution represents.

    Borrow money and you get urged to follow sound economics
    Does the student loan go on the books as a debt or an asset?

    Perhaps a "liability"?

    so unless one and a half guineas was a good down payment on a house ( like the 30 ,40k or more ) current student owe........................


    The whole student loan thing was a badly thought out knee jerk reaction to an american scam thought up in chicago

    If I make an agreement with someone and I borrow some money , I pay it back .period

    if the other party keeps changing the loan terms during the period of that loan they ( as far as Im concerned ) have failed to honour the agreement and the contract ceases with the original amount only, due .

    Interesting to know what their interpretation of " harm " is.

    " Under the proposed Bill someone who causes harm by posting a digital communication commits an offence if:

    (a) the person posts a digital communication with the intention that it cause harm to a victim; and

    (b) posting the communication would cause harm to an ordinary reasonable person in the position of the victim;

    and

    (c) posting the communication causes harm to the victim."

    Would fuck KB if it covers someone becoming upset.
