I have a nice title for the book that has come in the competition ‘The Wealthy Student Handbook’ - providing a wealth of knowledge for the student community.

It’s going to be tough to be it - but you can try here.

With this blog I am going to get into some meatier subject matter to get my real views on things out there.

This week: Where does all the money really go?

I am talking about taxes and what the general public pays. Of course we pay taxes to maintain the services - police, army, hospitals and those things, but is every single pound and penny going to good places?

I personally don’t think it is.

There is so much waste of money in our society and our government has to take the blame here. I know if every penny was spent properly students wouldn’t have top up fees and being slammed with 4.8% interest.

We need to fight the student corner but we also need to fight our own corner as a British citizens. Where is every single pound of our money going? All we seem to have found out lately is that MP’s can now claim thousands on a new kitchen for their second home.

In Scotland students don’t have the same fees as us. Why not here?

We need answers and in our quest to help students, we’ll also be trying to get these answers.

Are you with us?
