You can choose either a Government backed place that you repay the Government for or a Private place on the same footing as any international full fee paying student.
What the fuck is wrong with that ? Or am I missing something here ?

the tuition fees will be increasing from approx £3.5k/year to upto £9k/year over night. The current system has worked fine upto now, with cambridge the best university in the world, and three other british universitys in the worlds top 10.
currently the uk governement contributes about £750m/year to higher education which is a piss in the ocean in the grand scale of things, when you consider a highly educated workforce reaps huge benefits for the ecconomy as a whole, more than repaying the outlay, so the state should contribute something.
