The Education Secretary, Charles Clarke, has "defended the introduction of differential top up fees as the fairest way to fund higher education on the grounds that those who benefit from education should pay for it" (see, e.g., this page).
I agree: Those who benefit from university education should pay for it -- that's why we should all pay for it, since we all benefit from it.
