Would students who start in 2017 be liable to get their fees raised? Or would it be consistent for the entire duration of study?

The article says for students beginning in those years. Not for existing students on that basis.

The government just loves to con young people out of money. The fees go up every year "due to inflation", yet the repayment threshold remains completely unchanged since 2012.
Meh, not like I'll ever earn enough money to start paying my loan off anyway. :P
Good, and may they continue to rise.
So this is an increase in line with inflation, big whoop.

It's called a resource based economy and it is not beyond reach.

High rise buildings everywhere. Haven't they been proved harmful to people's mental health? Is that really a desirable future?
Yay for inflation! :colonhash:
Young people don't vote. Young people get screwed by the government.

Easy way to change things...

How do charges by UK unis compared to those in the US?

everyone claims US tuition fees are ridiculous but they can't be that much more for public unis.

You are allowed to go to university if you're over 18. Almost half are, in fact.

But that's beside the point. When the fees first went up to £9,000 it was the NUS organising protests (+/- anti-conservative riots) in London. It didn't effect those students, but they still went. The same applies here - if all those students who went to the protest turned out to vote instead, then the government would be substantially more cautious about ramping the Young Person Tax up and up because they know they'd be penalised by the under-25 vote.
this is outrageous.
RIP to the next new generations of university hopefuls wanting to get an amazing degree with £££££ of debt
F*** university, I'm going to join a tribe in South America.

He's saying that the solution is to let young people vote.
