Of course it's a student issue - non students don't tend to have student debt.

If you mean that it's a wider economic problem and part of the increasing indebtedness of our society, then you're right, and that should have been fully considered back when the system was being set up and grants largely abolished.

That said, it's not necessarily an issue for the YSI to deal with as an organisation, so it's still unfair of you to make mention of our website in that sense.

Regarding the moderation of comments - I've not had anything I've had to moderate on so far (touch wood), but maybe I'm just lucky that way.

Alison,

Yes, i do have comment moderation on my blog and if you she received the level of abuse that I do - I'm sure you'd do the same. However, I can categorically assure you that I publish every comment as long as the writer puts their name to it and uses appropriate language.

And as for the student debt policy. You are perhaps naive to pigeon hole it as a "student" issue. There are currently 352,000 people in Scotland withoutstanding student debt. They could £1 or £5,000. They could be 22 or 56.

The range of Scots the SNP have let down on this issue is breath-taking. Your attempts to shake it off and make hay out of my predecessors is weak politics indeed.
