The courts said that not enough analysis was done but that wasn't sufficient grounds to overturn the increase. And I think that's far more than most were expecting from this lawsuit. Don't get me wrong, I applaud Katy and Callum for attempting to get it overturned, but it would have been nothing short of miraculous if they'd succeeded.

Personally, I think hiking the student fees when the graduate jobs market is so tough is cynical at best and downright cruel at worst. If I'd been facing almost £30,000 worth of debt, I don't think I'd have gone to university. Whatever anyone wants to say, it is going to put peope off; people who are perfectly capable of achieving a degree. And no-one capable of achieving a degree should be prevented from going to university.
