Cambridge Evening news reports that Anne Campbell, the Cambridge MP, chose to abstain from voting on top-up fees. Apparently she was moved by two letters from students telling her that top-up fees are either good, or do not affect access! She did not mention all the students that oppose them :)
The Cambridge Evening news reports: MP 'restored student's faith in polotics' (sic)
THE student whose plight moved Anne Campbell to drop her opposition to university top-up fees says she was surprised by the Cambridge MP's decision. But 20-year-old Becky Bowtell said the act had restored her faith in British politics. Mrs Campbell has received criticism from all quarters after opting to abstain from the vote on the controversial Higher Education Bill on Tuesday.

Little Becky might lose her faith in Politics again if she realizes that Anne was just looking for an excuse to (yet again) turn her back on students. After her silent support for years of tuition fees, now she supports tuition fees by abstention! But really what a pathetic excuse: use the letters of two students, out of thousands that reject top-up fees.
