Our representative in Parliament Bill Wiggin yesterday voted to increase university tuition fees helping the coalition government force through changes that will mean tertiary students will be saddled with debts of up to £40,000.

What may be alarming to some constituents is whether quick-witted Bill Wiggin was in fact clear-minded when he made his vote. Lately accused by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards of being 'muddled' 'careless' and 'confused' over simple form fiiling, can Bill Wiggin be trusted to make a decision that will have far-reaching economic consequences for thousands, if not millions of British people. Or could he again be 'mistaken.'

Can we ever trust quick Bill to make a correct decision again? And can we trust his old school mate Prime Minister Cameron who went back on his promise to oust Mr Wiggin if he was found to have wrongfully claimed expenses? Cameron was asked this week about the FIFA footy rats and told reporters: "I certainly learned one thing when it comes to breaking promises, politicians have got nothing on football management." Cameron's already broken his promise to the nation by not sacking Wiggin. And wouldn't you think he should know that FIFA's elite are themselves essentially politicians. You'd think he'd be able to smell that particular rat.

Now then, with our cash-strapped, toxic debt, carbon burning, war-at-any-cost Britain, will Cameron and quick Bill dip their hands in their own pockets and demand that they and all the other representatives of the people who have voted to end universal free education over the last two decades pay back their own tuition fees to the nation?
