Britain at large is not especially stunned by the notion of loans and debt, this is not a developing or petrostate country where vast majority of the population don't expect to ever sign a loan they can't immediately repay

Hunt's plan is not a loan, and has nothing to do with debt. It's indentured servitude with the threat of financial ruin if you leave. There is every incentive for the government to make these sums purely impossible to pay off so that people fear leaving as much as possible.

A far bigger problem with this plan is that it removes what little incentive there currently is for the NHS to pay and treat doctors well. If everyone coming through is going to be forced to work for you then why not pay them two pounds an hour for the first five years of their career like it's an apprenticeship?

because a safely large proportion of the top 10% of each educational cohort is quite capable of upping and moving to 1) other countries, or 2) other industries, if you dent their lifetime expected income arc too much

the same applies to considerations like "what should the top marginal tax rate be", btw - as I noted above, a senior consultant will easily hit that rate

This is an interesting topic but first we'd need to agree on number sources so nobody pulls the "49% of people are graduates" bollocks.

We can dismiss sticker shock itself because it's barely relevant, what we need to look at are how many graduates we produce, in what fields, and how many graduates we need, in what fields, and whether this is working out well.

Cursory glancing of ONS puts graduate levels at something between 27-33%. It's probably useful to remove over 60s in population controls because we have no real significant studies there. And cursory glancing of the "graduate" job market puts it at 47% of the UK workforce, which clearly isn't matching up. Jobs that need a degree are around a quarter of the workforce, although again I'm happy to pick a specific model for the conversation and stick with it, rather than trying to parse rather a lot of incoherent data that I'm finding on first attempt.

This is before we discuss the amount of zoologists and hieroglyphic studies grads in finance, or ask whether flower arrangement is really a degree. I know cosmetic marketing is a degree at least one of the local universities sells.

Commodification of essential resources and education itself is a very bad idea.

They will. Rich people who want to be doctors will train abroad. Poor people who want to be doctors will become something else instead. Which is a great shame, because for a lot of people becoming a doctor is genuinely a calling rather than a simple income choice.

All of this will speed up the development of a critical doctor shortage and the collapse of the NHS, which is the game plan here. Unless you think Hunt genuinely wants to save the NHS with this plan.

Sure. Mostly I spend my time on a MUD, though I hang out on a discord with some friends. I tend to use Twitter mainly to follow artists I enjoy. On this forum I mainly post in the anime and games forums mainly because it's pretty low stress. I sometimes poke my head in here just to see what the vibe is, when some event is happening. Generally I try to be pretty chilled out about this. A few years ago I went to 4chan for a while but the bad points about that community became too awful to ignore.

Back in the day I used to subscribe to the Guardian but I don't really have time to read it.

You?

Edit: I also played League for a while but generally I found I had better things to do.
