SURELY the charge of up to £9,000 for university tuition is just another stealth tax.

If, when the students join the work force, they earn enough to repay the charge, they will already, through income tax, be repaying the loan.

What next – asking school leavers to repay the cost of their education?

This is the thin end of the wedge.
