   I am, like many, angry at the governments austerity programme and I am particularly angry at the increase in student fees. I would like to know when the next protest is, how I can participate and where I can participate. Thankyou, Laurence Hobbs.

   Stop using gmail. There are so many other non-corporate email providers that won’t hand over all your emails and details to the police and soon as they ask.

   TO MORE EASILY GET FEES PAID?

   Though difficult putting all the idea in a Text – and though I doubt they’d contact you – I sent the following to Sky News & the BBC…

   And so for your own Edit to Clear and to go with an examination of what it can possibly be made to pertain to…

   =====|\

   I quote exactly…

   TuitionFees: Govt needs agree twixt NUS&employers that students have=toBenefits+costs for 1Yrs work with [deemed @ £6k for that].. it paid by Employers contracting for 2Yrs with Yr2 paid pro-rata & Employer pays Bonus=to £6k at Yr1 end & when Placement Quotas need to be agreed by public&private Sectors&other Unions & the work offered to reflect what exams Debt was originally for & students also able to transact own placements would help !!

   =====|\

   As you see, my text-space was filled quite full for that particular germ of an idea…

   But though obviously just a rough idea as different ££figures etc may end applying in any proper Scheme(s) if taken up…

   I note Government has had many past schemes with Claimants in receipt of Income Support/Unemployment Benefit + Extras thrown in for expenses & with a part wage etc…

   And where ideas were for actual Work Training on the Job at a same time regarded as being in Employment & for National Insurance purposes…

   =====|\

   I hope my idea helps with fine tuning & additions to of it, if my text-speak was not too dense to follow. I think you could get a lot of support from broader Union movement.

   Regards for your struggle,

   PS I should say that, as for there being any scheme, many students would be on benefits for at least a year anyway – and as soon as they leave University…

   And it would be the case that while an Employer would pay £6k fees and then an immediate £6k bonus after – the Employer actually gets quite fair Labour for a year!!

   If the fees were £9k the bonus could be cut to £3k. Adn not that it would matter because agreements would be for two years work – and the sooner the fees were out of the way (i.e quite paid off in 12 months) [then I don't think anybody would complain too much when going on to proper rates immediately afterwards].

   Presumably loans to help students out could be made on the understanding that they were to receive a bonus too. And this would help with moving & settling expenses or whatever else could be needed to ensure a smooth transition to work with of course the Employer supplying relevant safety etc matters if any and just like any other employee.
