Where did you find that out, Zeuhl? As far as I know Mr Kebede’s immigration status prevents him from applying for a student loan. Apart from that, even if he was eligible the course he intends to take does not seem to fit the criteria laid down for student loans. From the governments website: ~~~~~~~~~~~~

/how did he get here in the first place, and when discovered why wasn't he thrown out straight away?/
Because he wasn't 'discovered' as you so prejudicially assume AOG
His father brought him and his brother here in 2004 and claimed asylum - the claim was rejected
He wasn't 'thrown out' because he was only 12 years old and was abandoned by his family
Perhaps that wouldn't have stopped you
/the Daily Mail, without them we would not hear cases such as this, can't see the any report on this in the Guardian. /
Really?
It was in The Telegraph and on Huffington and on BBC Radio 4

I take strong objection to claims that I 'clearly hate the Royals'. (@emmie)
As is the tradition in AB threads I am obliged to resort to the worn out phrase "where, exactly, did I actually say that?"
I made what I thought was a neutral observation, that about a million pounds had been spent training a particular personage and that (I think) we're getting about 2 years' service out of him.
I asked "is that good value?" and have not been graced with an answer.
Having previously expressed my dismay and envy about such preferential treatment being dished out to Mr Kebede I don't see how it can be fatuous to show that parallel, aviation-related, examples of profligacy with public funds exist.
What have I done for my country? Nothing beyond the ordinary. Besides attacking the character of the debater, instead of countering their argument is what ad hominem is all about.
