I saw the end so I missed the Mandelson segment, which is ok by me. Julia Lopez was spot on about how he could have been just a historical figure.
Yusuf is as much of a bore as Farage.
When I put it on Oli Dugmore was complaining about student loans in general and his own in particular, the main point from him and the audience was the interest rate. I agree it's outrageous, but the effect of reducing it would be marginal, compared with reducing the ridiculously high 9% payment rate or increasing the ridiculously low threshold. I think Dugmore was the only one who stood up for the principle of HE benefiting us all.
