My student loans are interest free
it was def less than 2
The housing market was fucked by mass immigration, and money pouring into buy-to-let when interest rates fell through the floor
Not anymore, Wacka
interestingly I got it here down south and its some glasgow student loans company or something
And it doesn’t seem that anyone wants to stop mass immigration.
used to be the left that were anti mass immigration... they seem to be ok with it now... so the right gets a free pass to increase mass immigration 😛
mine aint anywhere near that
it's based on your income, apparently
low income it's pinned to RPI, then stages up to a maximum of RPI+3%
UBI would significantly reduce the need for student loans
Wouldn't eliminate it
Also, courses which are in demand should attract bursaries from both industry and the government
I think back to me just leaving school.. if I had ubi... would I bother going to college or getting a job... probably not 😛
either that or I probably would have stayed in college all my life
You wouldnt' be allowed to stay in college all your life without paying for it
And if your parents didn't kick you out, then that's really their watch out
And if you were kicked out, you would be incentivised to work on the grounds that you have to eat
UBI isn't set to replace housing benefit or disability benefit, so it'd only be like 80 quid a week or so
and heres me worrying my boiler might go and Ill freeze over winter cos I cant afford a new one...
50bn, passing through.. https://twitter.com/BloombergTV/status/1199662418215022593?s=20
Only decent policy JC has so far that i can see is the interest-free loan for insulation, windows, and boilers
Environmental apprenticeships
my windows are brand new.. but I would still get that loan for new windows if its really interest free 😛
Is it double or triple glazed?
double
previous were single... and tbh the downstairs of this maisonette is social housing... so they are home 24/7 ... so my heating is partly covered
I gotta say this but...
I don’t care if Boris sells the NHS to America.
The NHS is such a bloated inefficient organisation that selling it off to someone else who might be willing to give it the reformation and shake up it needs would be a good thing.
Might turn out to be a bad thing considering the stories about big phama
He ain't selling the NHS
ffs
Le presidente Corbyn keeps saying he is.
[sarcasm]so it must be true[/s]
The thing is, "opening up the NHS to the USA" basically means having a free trade agreement on drugs and medical services, which may result in cheaper prices to the NHS
But I’m saying that even if he were, then it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me.
I understand the sentiment.
I take it that the absolute mad-laddery that is "lo fi boriswave" being posted to an official Conservative channel has already been shared here?
You just posted that half way through my typing lol
Many times over.
