Scrap Uni Fees for Trades

I was talking to a kid the other day who just left school and he wanted to be an electrician, but his parents were worried about the debt he'd be in if he went to college. I told him about my own son who did an apprenticeship at the local garage and now he's got a good job and no student loans to pay off. It's a no-brainer, if you ask me.

I think the problem is that politicians in London are too focused on getting kids into university, like that's the only way to get a good job. But what about the kids who don't want to sit in a lecture hall all day, who want to get their hands dirty and learn a trade. We need more plumbers and carpenters, not just lawyers and accountants. And we need to make it easier for them to get the training they need without breaking the bank.

I'm proposing that we scrap university fees for kids who want to do a trade, whether it's at a college or through an apprenticeship. It's just common sense, if you ask me.
