I fucking HATE this way of thinking. It benefits everyone to have those that want to to go to university. You know, so someone knows how to perform surgery, or build bridges, or treat cancer, to teach children.

Fuck off Rachel Reeves.
Rachel Reeves: "It is not right that people who don't go to university bear the cost for others to." I don't use local leisure centres and I don't drive, so will I be made exempt for taxation that pays for all that stuff? Or is it only education we'll be going after

There is money for "education" if and only if that money is being directly funneled to corporations. Anything involving actual learning, however, well there's no magic money tree

BTW the EASIEST way to convince a pet-owner the NHS shouldn't be privatised is to ask them how much their last vet bill cost.

I've tried getting this screw in with a screwdriver. I've tried using a hammer. Why not try banging it in with my head? What could go wrong?
But perhaps the quote which most summed up why some people are willing to give Reform a go “We’ve tried Conservative, we’ve tried Labour, they didn’t work. Why not try Reform? We’ve got nothing to lose. If that doesn’t work …then it’s definitely broken.”

In retrospect I wish I hadn’t chosen the most nutsack colour to sew what was already quite a bollockular form but sometimes I quite enjoy having created myself a bit of an obstacle to deal with, or in this case, a testicle to surmount
