“The financial stability of UK universities cannot depend on overseas students”
“We’re going to reduce the number of overseas students”

Thinking of Westminster full of tractors. Who is allowed to protest and who is not. The UKs clampdown on climate protest is frightening

I know someone who did this to a pigeon. In flip flops.
WAS WALKING TO THE TUBE AT MY USUAL "BASICALLY RUNNING" PACE AND A MOUSE RAN UNDER MY FOOT AND I CRUSHED IT

I CAN STILL FEEL THE CRUNCH
OH GOD
