Another hustings meeting this evening. This time it was at the University and organised by the University political society. A fairly wide ranging debate across most of the major issues that face us. Not surprisingly student tuition fees came up. My opponent admitted that whilst they did wish to abolish fees they would levy a graduation endowment tax of at least £2,000 per student once they had graduated. He argued this was a student fee but you must ask when is a student fee not a student fee?

Went to the Spring Grove with some of the students for a drink afterwards.

A huge amount of email and correspondence to catch up on and that is my next priority.

A long day tomorrow ending with a debate at the University for the Racial Equality Council.

Finally, our next piece of literature arrived today. Starts to go out tomorrow. Looks superb and the guy putting it all together has done a superb job.
