Thousands of company directors leave UK after Labour’s tax changes FT analysis finds jump in departures with UAE the top destination

It is class war.

Windfarmed We’re doing more than producing fossil free electricity at some of our offshore wind farms. We’re growing seaweed there, too.Β  We call it Wind Farming.

Where can I buy these seaweed snacks?

Students in England now graduate with average debt of Β£53,000, data shows Student Loans Company figures show 10% jump in a year as individuals increase borrowing to meet cost of living

Students in England graduate with average Β£53,000 debt.

Total debt Β£266bn, up to 7.3% interest.

Most European nations don't charge university tuition fees, England does.

What was public debt, is now personal debt.

People penalised for education, can't start family, business.

Abolish uni fees.

Shifty When power begins to shift in society, everything becomes unstable, exciting and frightening. Living in Britain at the end of the 20th century. From acclaimed film maker Adam Curtis.

Everyone from my generation should be forced to take off their rose-tinted hornrims and be made to watch this. All the "back in the day" social media poster bods need to remember how crap things really were.
