@umesh_mistry@richardmorrisuk @SamYoung841 5 of the 17 Prime Ministers since 1945 have been educated at Eton (4 of 17 educated at a non-Eton fee-paying school). Doesn't sound too bad till you realise that's 29% Eton-educated when only approx 7% of the UK population is privately educated
@SBarutta @UKLabour It does make me wonder what other seemingly set in stone policies this govt will try to change! How long before they make it 50 years, then 60, and further raise the loan interest, making it more impossible for the average working person to ever pay off their loan in full
James Cleverly (Education Sec) on BBC breakfast is real funny talking about how student loans are designed to not put students off going to uni like 10 years hasn't just been added onto how long it is before the loan is forgiven? And don't even get me started on the interest rate
just took my pug on the subway in a tote bag. he delicately licked the elbow of the woman standing in front of me, who then let out easily the most blood-curdling scream i have ever heard in my life
