I have just joined the Lib Dems against scrapping the cap! group on Facebook.

On the 12th of October 2010 Lord Browne published the findings of his review of Higher Education funding. The proposals include scrapping the current cap (meaning that some so called ‘elite degrees’ could cost £12,000 a year) and reducing funding for “less important” degrees.

Although some of our MPs, such as Tim Farron, have come out and vowed that they will rebel against this, 2 of our key players have come out in support of Browne’s proposals – Nick Clegg and Vince Cable.

It is time we took things into our own hands. The grassroots are the only people who can stop this from happening. We need to ensure that every one of our 57 MPs honours the pledge they signed to fight a hike in fees. We need to ensure that Higher Education becomes fair and accessible to all.
