If you’re helping the country through your work and are providing value through your service, you shouldn’t have to pay for the education that made that possible.
This might be a UK thing (I am guessing not) but here every tree base, every lamppost, every Ballard, park bench, every single standing object, is sprayed with weed killer to keep it looking tidy (cus dead plants look so lovely).

Salaries are crap, the cost of living is going up, quality of life has stagnated for years, why the hell are we working ourselves into the ground to be skint for 2 weeks of the month?
At least if we had longer weekends we’d have time to recharge for the trudge of the working week. If we’re going to be skint, we may as well have a bit of time to moan about it.
Cameron, Johnson, Farage. All utterly removed from the lives of most people, all utterly transparent in who they actually work for and yet, again and again we follow them, we believe them and we vote for them.
