    Who wants to go to uni, its full of students!

    Wanted: an effective opposition. The complete collapse and capitulation of the once named opposition has led to a void in the opposition position. Applications are welcome from anyone or thing, including amoeba and pond life, as there is little life forms that could fare worse. Applications in a brown envelope with the 'usual fee' will ensure participation in the process

    If the laws didn't protect the people who made a contract and now don't want to honour (strike action).
    The Uni would fire the entitled failures that teach there (It most of them even did strike without protections) and get new ones so the students could be educated.

    Have a pop at the vc's and directors of nothing before slating lecturers. Most haven't had a meaningful pay rise for 8 years. Eventually you have to say enough is enough.

    Our only hope is that this generation of 'abused by the governance rules' students are not as dumb as the previous 30 odd years of graduates who are totally indoctrinated into the toxic bullshit that passes for an education in most universities across the so called developed world these days. The reason we are where we are is because of what has been going on in the education facilities. So todays students are hopefully going to start thinking for themselves instead of being taught what to think. Who in their right mind is going to pay for university other than those who have more dollar than sense. All the social advantages of uni are gone

    1. Millions of people in the UK living hand to mouth, struggling to get by but these middle & upper class toffs think they are getting a raw deal! These people are probably already in the top 5% of earners, probably own their homes (perhaps even a holiday home in Southern Spain) along with a healthy portfolio of stocks etc.. these muppets don't realise how good they have it (in comparison).
    2. Do these "intellectuals" have the intellect to realise they are effectively destroying the universities they work for? Why would anyone pay tens of thousands of pounds for an education at a university where lessons are done remotely, lecturers don't meet their students and now the lecturers can't even be trusted to do their jobs.. Seriously, if you were a prospective student, why would you do that?

    Friend of mine is studying in America. He has a small job on the side and he lives quite comfortbly in his own flat and has a car and everything along with it. While go to university here and you live off cold beans and freezing in unheated and leaking accomedation and get nothing in return.

    Many of today's lecturers would be in Golgafrincham Ark B.

    If the Universities are only going to tutor on line then sign up with the O.U ( Open University,) you'll find it cheaper in the long run.

    And students are being subjected to political agendas which bear no relation to
    1. The course they chose to take.
    2. Politicised woke agenda and propoganda
    All at the time they are PAYING to be educated in their field of interest AND paying for accommodation they were prevented from using.
    University serves 2 crucial purposes
    1. Education
    2. An exciting opportunity to make friends, build social network and free themselves to become adults,.
    All of this has been usurped
    Don't give in, don't give up …your future is YOURS …not by control …
    Much love xxx

    Very good points made. How dare they be made to pay huge fees and to get nothing back. They have every right to protest!

Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”

Published

By



Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.

The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.

The ban comes into force today.

Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.

“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.

“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.

“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

We now live in GASLIT BRITAIN

Published

on

By



Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.

It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.

Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.

The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.

Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”

A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.

“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.

“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

British burqa ban? GB News guest urges UK to follow Portugal

Published

on

By



Tiffany Marie Brannon has urged Britain to introduce a burqa ban after Portugal did so.

Portugal has banned face-coverings in public in a measure widely seen as a “burka law” targeting Muslim women.

President António José Seguro signed into law a bill that originated with the hard right-wing Chega party.

The policy was adopted by Lisbon in July with votes from the right-wing governing coalition and the hard right, while left-wing parties voted against it.

Speaking on The Late Show Live on GB News, Tiffany Marie Brannon argued that the issue raises wider questions about integration, cultural identity and the role of religious dress in British public life, as the debate over face coverings continues to divide opinion.
