Would Britain be better if everyone worked only 21 hours a week?
People would be happier because they'd have better lives outside of work and more time to spend with their families. There'd be more jobs to go around, and time to volunteer.

Your one of the lucky ones, with no tuition fees! Imagine those that are affected by the rise in fees, i back the student protests in london

I'm also lucky not to pay any fees but i'm struggling too to keep a balance of work and uni in check. I feel so bad for all those down in England who have a rise in tuition fees to pay and hope that it can be reversed and that free tuition fees for all with be in place one day soon!!
