Education should be free.

Student loans should be 0% interest.

I’ve been working at between a minimum of £45k per annum since graduating 9 years ago, with my more recent salary being 6 figures.

I barely make a dent on the loan and most years it didn’t cover the interest. I owe more than I borrowed by around £20k.

It’s rigged against plan 2 loan holders and I never will pay it off.

Student: "Don't you know One Direction?" 🧐

Me: "I've heard of them, but they've never been on my playlist. I think my last reference of a boyband was Backstreet Boys..." 🙂

Student: "Oh, they're like them, but A LOT BIGGER!" 😃

I do not need to change a word to describe my experience.

In Hungary, racism was less complicated because the racists I encountered were consistently like that, day and night, so I knew exactly what to expect.

Part-Timers are much more dangerous, and Bristol has plenty!

In the “dystopian” The Purge Universe (2013-Present), the National Rifle Association-backed Far-Right party New Founding Fathers of America governs the U.S., claiming to reduce crime by legalizing it once a year: The Annual Purge.

Is The Purge Universe really that dystopian? 🤷🏿

[João Raphael da Silva @_daSilvaJR]
