Which platform should they approach? trillion fund if they indeed have a trillion - roughly what Wonga will need to pay all compensation by the sound of it What amazes me is that investors apparently put in £10m less than 1 month before administration. Was that a seriously high stakes gamble gone wrong, or something else - v strange!

Good lord, don't set this off. Yes, you're probably correct. I sort of felt that the spewing of nonsense conspiracy theories on a forum aimed at intelligent discussion probably shouldn't go entirely unchallenged, however.

Interesting... you are equating having spare cash to invest in p2p with intelligence 😀 Having spare cash is probably more a function of the age demographic of the forum...

No doubt the baby boomers are the richest generation at the moment. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37508968It's much harder for the new generation to be debt free. £9k+ tuition fee, higher rate student loans, need to borrow more to get on property ladder etc... Only time will tell in 100 years time whether people in the 60s have much more spare cash than the 20s. |

I was a student in the late 70's with my government grant topped up by parental contributions. No disputing things are different now, but you get the impression that the current generation want to pick and choose between the bits of history that should apply to them. I don't have a problem with them saying they want the same student funding model as 40 years ago, but if that's the case then they get everything from the 70's. No internet access, no ipads or iphones, no cheap holidays to Spain and only 4 TV channels. Oh, and also long hair and flared trousers.
Welcome to the 70's, the decade that had no shame.

I think part of the problem with degrees nowadays is Blair's incorrect assumption that pushing participation rates ever higher would generate more jobs that required degree entry. Wasn't true then, isn't true now. That's why we see lots of graduates doing jobs that can easily be done by non-graduates. Understandable because as degrees become more common, basically every employer will request a graduate regardless of the intellectual difficulty of the job.

Wait what, in 100 years time people in their 60's will be 160 ish and those in their 20's will be 120ish, thats some mighty fine medical advancements. Or has this sentence just gone straight over my head
