Is a degree a right or a privilege? Plus Deeyah talks about new album Listen to the Banned

Is a degree a right or a privilege? Plus music artist Deeyah talks about her role in new album Listen to the Banned.

At 1- Is a degree a right or a privilege?
The amount students pay for degrees could be going up if a government review goes ahead. It means that you and your children could be paying up to twelve thousand pounds for every year of the degree. So if young people want to study things like music technology or degrees in celebrity journalism - just a couple that we found today - would you be happy to fund them through your taxes? Or is the government right to insist that all degrees should be paid for regardless of their cost? If you can't afford to go to uni, why should the government pay for you?

After 2 - singer Deeyah talks to me about compiling a new album - Listen to the Banned.

And - answer this - Who comes first...your friend or your boyfriend? The team were talking about this earlier, it seems some of them have been let down by their friends once a new boyfriend is on the scene...so ladies, have you got your priorities right? And have you been dropped by your friend because of her new man?
