Pledge “topupbegone”

More details
Currently, in order to recieve higher education (and thanks to NuLabour) young people are straddled with masses of debt. Candidates for Parliament recieve for their £500 deposit a free mailing to every house in the constituency. I am prepared to stand at the next general election campaigning on this issue in the mailing if 50 people also sick of tuition fees will each pledge a tenner towards paying the deposit to sand.
