The debt is terrible etc etc, but if you're a provincial 18-year-old who can't afford to drive or live with friends & can't find a local job with hours, your only real route to conventional adult independence is to go get the loan. It's weird that nobody acknowledges this

So where's the news coverage of the 150,000 people who marched through London for Trans Rights today?
Is that only a privilege that Yaxley Lennon receives?

Did you know that 150,000 people marched in defence of trans rights yesterday in Central london? The biggest protest for trans rights in history?
Barely a whisper on the news.
We remain an uncomfortable inconvenience for those who are hungry for billionaire hatebucks.

All of us at Edinburgh have a duty to Palestine - we are not saviours, but perpetrators of war crimes and genocide. It is our tuition fees that fund the israeli war machine, and as students, we have the responsibility to say NO.
Was travelling on @LNER yesterday and it seemed like you could no longer buy tins of Hop On Board ale from the buffet - does anyone know if this is permanent?
Fun fact: this is the only scene in Doctor Who to feature two Class 170 Turbostar DMUs operated by Central Trains.

To be clear: the only option @ScotRail have now is to remove the 'Iona' voice from their trains.
Pay a human voice actor to provide a thorough library of announcements, instead.

Our treasurer was bored and decided to imagine a fictional rail operator. What if after privatisation, the Scottish network had been broken up into different TOCs? Introducing "Highland Railways", who operated rural routes from 1997 until 2004 with a fleet of Class 156s and 158s.
