In the aftermath of 9/11, British restricted the entry of foreign students into UK for higher studies. As a result, their revenues fell and they had to increase the fee of the local students. This evoked an uproar and protest against the British government. They then decided to allow generously students' entry to UK to keep the fee of locals under control.

BUT, I must say that if British have achieved excellence in higher education, they DO have a right to charge as much fee as they want. We cannot stop them. All we can and we should do is to enhance level of education in our country so that we save precious foreign exchange.
