To pay back £90k would involve paying back £3k a year, or earning an average £33k over the threshold - currently that's £54k well into the top 10% of earners.

Currently income tax between £50k and £60k is 60% due to the wothdrqwal of child benefit, student loan increase this to 69%.

Personally I think we tax income - especially earned income, far too high. We have millionaire pensioners paying hardly any tax at all, yet people paying 70% who are unable to buy a house. Sickening, but it's not tuition fees to blame.
