I was one of those 'neglected white kids.' Ive supported 'white working class kids' for 2 decades.
YES it's a disgrace. NO you don't get to blame black people owning their rights too. Failing poor kids was a political choice WAY before the term white privilege existed. NEXT! 🙄
"We create platforms for young people's achievements to be celebrated. In such a challenging year, we SHOUT about how great today's generation are despite the odds." - @JohnLoughton , Founder.
People, we give you the Scran Class of 2020-21. 🎓🧑🎓👩🎓👏
I say "love you bye" to people. Colleagues, shop staff, young people at work, on phone, meetings, everyone.
For those saying it's weird, if people can hate for no reason, I can say love for no reason!
Love you bye x
Sorry but this was just one typo too far!
