Labour and Tuition Fees

This image: progressivity Looks at the NPV of the tuition payments for graduates in each percentile of income. The assumption is that the government pays the universities a fee of £7,500 for each year of study.

Labour's proposal is for the government to pay no more than £6,000 per year to universities through this scheme.

This will, however, not affect the lower income percentiles and only probably the top four percentiles.

And for reference the Lib Dem manifesto policy is that line along the bottom labelled £0.

ie paid out of general taxation true. However, in a coalition where we are the minority party we managed to reduce the money paid by the poorer graduates (the poorest 29%) and also make it much fairer (it is a graduate tax for the majority of graduates).

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
