    Student loan interest - an absolute disgrace

    there's defiantly benefit to academia but I'm not sure there's a lot of benefit to having hundreds or even thousands of people studying things like media studies or music management when there simply aren't the jobs available. The knock on impact is that those type of industries now have a huge...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    From the sounds of things sending people to Rwanda is going to cost many times the amount we'd spend keeping them here, what a genius plan.

    Student loan interest - an absolute disgrace

    Rishi’s wife

    Do the people who tirelessly defend the government not get sick of this? This consistently happens, they spend days defending whatever the latest scandal is only for there then to be a u-turn.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Every metric we use shows that productivity has gone up significantly with everything working from home. We also had a meeting where we had to go round everyone in the company and them say if they wanted to go back to the office or not. One or two said they'd like the option but everyone else...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Problem we have is there's no real option, you've got these idiots or the Conservative. Lib Dems & Greens locally seem to be virtually non-existent.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    had a quick look at the account but couldn't see who was behind it. interesting, given how long it takes the council to respond to anything, they seem to have managed to get someone out within hours to take down the estate agent style boards.
