LibDem's knife goes even deeper into a generation of young people

It's not often I'll agree with a Tory Minister, but in fairness I have to agree with
Universities Minister David Willetts when he says it is "important to look beyond the £9,000 headline".

Very true Mr Willetts, how about adding that you are rapidly ruling out all but the most wealthy young people in the country from achieving their potential by returning university education to an elite few. From now on forget grades, hard work and effort and concentrate on Home Counties affluence and privilege.

While I'm thankful of Labour's pledge to support our students here in Wales, I can't help feeling anything but despair for so many who are without that help across the border.
