Just wanna have fun
There was a time when Prime Ministers, Heads of State , Presidents and people in high Office of were required to have an impeccable character.Now we have Trump as President of U S A whose life style leaves much to be desired and has had judgments against his Business Empire.
Would be title holder Marxist Corbyn has many followers who want to live in a Fools Paradise.
Is La Dolce Vita the right way to live?
Or will there be a wailing and gnashing of teeth, later

Just a couple of examples: President Kennedy was a serial adulterer. Edward VII was notorious for his mistresses. Lord Melbourne scandalised Victorian society with his affair with Caroline Norton.
The only difference is that nowadays the press is more intrusive.

Re: Just wanna have fun
Bruce has hit the nail on the head.Heads of state have always been scoundrels, it's just that nowadays there is twitter and facebook, among others, and a media that is not satisfied until it has explored every orifice of a persons private life, although what that's got to do with their ability to do the job I don't know. But some very good politicians have fallen by the wayside because of it....

Many Countries do not charge tuition fees. The UK does!
Yet many Countries Worldwide even Communist Countries, chose to pay high fees and sent their students to the UK Universities because of the excellent tuition available.
Korean students are expected to work for the Government for two years when they return home to repay the tuition fees.
Whoever is in Government there will always be the rich and the poor people
It was always thus , and we are not all born equal , some people are born more talented than others and do not have to do manual labour’
They have brilliant minds and invent all kinds of things which are then manufactured and bring employment to millions of people
It is Commerce that makes the Country prosperous and the Government should help new businesses especially in areas of high unemployment.
I do think that Student Loans should be partly funded by the Government.
