I had a higher education paid for by working taxpayers in the late-1970s
and early 1980s, and as a current taxpayer I have no objection to paying
for the education of the young now.

It is a natural part of life that working people pay for the education
of the young and the retirement of the aged.

If you want to pay some extra tax, I'm sure HM Revenue and Customs
will not refuse. Some folks have to pay their mortgage, children's
education, retirement, and groceries.


Education is expensive in the United States.

That's the choice of voters in the US. What applies there doesn't have
to apply here!

It never does. A constitutional Monarchy is NOT the same thing as a
Jeffersonian Republic. Never-the-Less, it would be healthy for
British folks to show some gumption in these matters. Those agile
young brains should be solving the problem, not holding out their
hands. AND, it is the school boards that determine the fees, not the
electorate.
