I hate the new fee plans for universities. Hate hate.

Shall we just stick a big sign up saying "kids from sink estates, learn your damn place at the local ex-poly" and be done with it? Because there's a VAST NUMBER of kids who aren't within travelling distance of a good university. Especially without student loans to cover travelling costs.

Want to compare Teesside University to one of the big Good Ol' Boy Unis? Really?

My baby sister graduated last week. From Durham. (she got a damn good degree as well, thankyouverymuch) And we sat among the masses of porsh upperclass accents and giggled a whole lot, because we knew damn well our own thick accents stood out like a sore thumb. Kids' from council estates already start a dozen steps back. Can we QUIT MOVING THE LINE BACK, please?

Also, I hate Nick Griffin. I need to not watch tonight's news because I now want to punch someone in the face.

I would write to my local MP again, but I think it might just come out as incoherent screaming.
