How can you say it was one and not the other? I’d say it was more likely a bit of both.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but whether you live in a capitalist, socialist, communist or what ever other types of economic systems are available, you need to be intellectually honest about what types of workers the society needs to be able thrive.
How many historians do you want qualified before you would say, “maybe we should incentivise people in to things like medicine or engineering”, a hundred thousand, a million?
Of course history is important, but there’s clearly a sensible limit to how many job opportunities there are for curators, archeologists, researchers, teachers etc.
In the UK, more or less fifty percent of young people have a uni level of education but there are not fifty percent of vacant jobs that require a degree level education. It might be absolute lovely that my barista has a history degree, but they could have joined the workforce several years earlier, have dozens of thousands pounds less in debt and still had the opportunity to study history in their own time.
To be fair, how many historians etc do you need to qualify every year?
What’s the point of studying something for years, getting in to dozens of thousands in student debt, potentially getting near the top of your field and then having to go work in a Starbucks because there are so few vacancies in your field?
I agree that these degrees are nice to have, but we should be honest with students in regards to the sort of lifestyle they can expect after they qualify.
Do you remember when their protest outside the HQ of BP made the news? Me neither, but I’m sure the high rollers on their 6, 7, 8 figure salaries felt terribly inconvenienced!
I don’t have to agree with their methods or their ideology to recognise their right to protest. We’re talking about dyed cornstarch here, it’s not like they blew the thing up.

Only $7.2M? Can we start a go fund me? Ex PM’s shouldn’t be living in absolute poverty.
I’m not taking the bait. There’s obviously many worse countries than the UK to be trans in and like I’ve already said, the UK isn’t perfect but it wouldn’t be as diverse as it is without being as accepting as it is.
You can reply to this if you want, but don’t expect me to reply in turn, this is my final statement on the matter.
Yep, it’s a really stupid take. If your worst enemy likes strawberry ice-cream, does that stop it from tasting good?
Why is it sus?
Are you one of the people that thinks criticism of Israel’s foreign policy = antisemitism?
You’ll find that whilst far from perfect, that the UK is one of the most accepting and diverse populations on earth.
Who made you ambassador for the UK? I’m in the UK and I don’t hate them.
The whole point of protest is to cause disruption, you’re not meant to like it, that’s the point!
Pedant here. You can touch this mushroom, just don’t eat it!
Still waiting for this to return to the UK and I’m absolutely furious that it wasn’t so popular that it became a standard menu item.
Wish I had a gun when I worked at Maccy’s.
For anyone that hasn’t heard of Elvana (a Nirvana tribute band fronted by an Elvis tribute act.
Imagine if this had happened under Corbyn.
Yes, some jokes are silly and that’s why they’re funny. Although jokes can be harmful, I don’t think that this one was.
Are jokes productive for discussion or discourse? Not necessarily, but I’m not so precious that I’m going to downvote someone for making one.
I mean what’s more likely here, a guy made a joke and a load of sensitive Lemmings downvoted them or a guy was literally comparing people that support Palestine with bigots?
I endorse the use of /s so that we can avoid this type of debate, but whenever you mention it you get a load of complaints.
The chin/jaw line of the young woman is the nose of the old woman, the ear is the eye, there is a horizontal line of the young woman’s neck that is the mouth of the old woman.
At first I only saw the young woman too.
At least halve the amount of ice-cream for it to look appetising to me.
