00:00I got a degree from Liverpool University and I was the last year they got the
00:06full grant before they were taking me away. I still had to work, all sorts of
00:12odd jobs to get me through. My son's at uni at the moment, his fees are going up
00:16and he's getting half of the tuition time from the lecturers and things and
00:22he's doing most of his stuff from home. Why is it going up? It should be like
00:26it should be like a hundred, it shouldn't be grants, like something they can
00:31afford to even afford to go. Look after them, make sure they can afford to go to
00:37uni if they've got the capacity. Doesn't suit some people, suits others, but it's
00:44too expensive. The Scottish way of doing it, they have a lot less
00:48people, have a smaller thing to deal with, however I think that would be the
00:56best model for people, for the country.
