  • Once upon a time university fees were fairly ok. Most people would leave uni with under 10k of debt and have it paid off within 10 to 15 years or so depending on wage.

    Then the liar that is Nick Clegg came along and instead of scrapping fees, tripled them along with his lord boss David Cameron.

    And for some reason I decided to go to university that year, 10 years after I should have (I skipped it in favour of a job when I was that age but decided to retrain).

    Left with £30k debt, paid off 2k due to a redundancy grant from my work, and now owe ££37k. I don’t see the point of it coming out of my pay packet to be honest.

    The university got a load of new buildings though

    // edited with correct figures. Just looked them up.

    That’s why right wing social media is going had on making Iran the bad guys and evil.

    So even though they don’t want war and are currently complaining about the thought of it, they’ll bend over for it in short time.

    The mental gymnastics will be amazing.

    Gotta save money. Government needs to cut everything including any social care. But also needs to spend more on deporting babies with cancer.

    And you know moving an expeditionary force around the world isn’t cheap either.
