A prospective Hereford & South Herefordshire General Election Hustings question for parliamentary candidates

The question

What would you say to the pot-smoking young Etonian Boris Johnson about drug taking and student finance for the current and future generations?

Background

The post-201 MP in Hereford & South Herefordshire parliamentary constituency is old Etonian Jesse Norman, who has extolled old Etonians as prospective model prime ministers.(1) He has also been Financial Secretary to the Treasury since 2019,(2) The Augar Review into post-18 Eductation Funding, meanwhile, has recommended that the earnings threshold before student loans are repayable be lowered, and the write-off period be extended from the current 30 years to 40 years.(3) These changes are applicable to new students only, but that in effect means future generations.

The earnings thresholds also ignore realities of modern rent payments and the devaluing of university degrees under Mass Higher Education.

Jesse Norman's fellow old-Etonians David Cameron and Boris Johnson have admitted to taking drugs at Eton.(4) In the era in which Norman, Cameron and Johnson were at uni, Neither Mass Higher Education nor mass unemployment existed, but student grants did for most students.

Now, youth mental health is a major concern,(5) and Herefordshire has seen growing problems with 'County Lines' drug operations,(6) amid rural transport poverty problems.
