FFS. The NME interview where he said he would look into wiping off current student / tuition fee debt. That's not a pledge or a promise. Yet the hard of understanding still trot out the lie.

Tuition fees have effectively undermined education in the UK, and turned it into a business, requiring students to accumulate debt on an unprecedented scale - Undermining the arts and humanities - effectively an attack on the cultural heart of the UK. Council House building - Its essential that the unregulated excess of the housing market be brought to heel - Homes are NOT investments, they are places where people need to live. Pay caps are anti-capitalist and break the very notion of a free market - how any pro-capitalist can support the idea is beyond me

I know of some young people who are getting degrees and quite honestly they are not that bright at all. Standards should be much much higher, far fewer people should be going to university and the courses offered should be of use in the real world.

Standards should be much much higher. This I also agree with - But in doing so we have to reverse the trend where university has become a clearing house for companies to obtain qualified staff - rather than training them in house themselves. University shouldn't be seen as a primary route to enter the workplace, but as an entry into academia and employment that does require very specialist training (medicine for example).

Certainly there should be council housing. But the private sector is inhibited by rigged artificial interest rates, over zealous planning controls, along with mass immigration leading to demand outstripping supply. The problem is that the housing market has largely been keeping the UK economy afloat for decades. I agree with the mass immigration, of temporary workers - that's basically created a rental market that's out of control, that became the new 'housing market' (preventing that crashing).

I agree with your third point that pay caps are anti free market, the market should determine wage levels - and prices. Thanks.
