I know the top universities stuff annoys you Croydon but what do you think about the dirty foreign money that's in London.....foreign millionaires, many of whom are no doubt criminals, who treat London like a buyable investment.

I could do with 40k to fund my kids.

She's bangable.....so she'll get the money.

Maybe Stormzy will provide.

I think stuff like this will make even the most liberal among us question what the hell is going on.

If 1 in 6 are bame then its equal as that's pro rata. I've a feeling it's probably higher than that though. Only pointing out from what I see and read.

This is my point though, I do not think it is harder to come from abroad or be from a different ethnic background to make it in this country. The opportunity is there and no one is going to stop you if you are tenacious enough. Without going into details my route was comprehensive school followed by college on a grant and a move from the Midlands to London. The rest has been hard work. Hardly a privileged background as my father was car industry and in and out of work during the 70s/80s.

Yes we were fortunate to have grants (about £1200 a year as I seem to recall) in those days as it is all loans now but that is the only difference to todays kids. Everyone has schooling in this country and you can excel even at the poor schools so there is the opportunity for self progression whoever you are.

Where else in the world do opportunities like this exist where you can freely enter a country and go through a free education system and then have a choice of professions to enter? You can’t enter America or Australia like this and there are plenty of other countries you wouldn’t want to be in.

I’m ranting a bit but I think this is a pretty damn fine country, it’s just a shame that others don’t see it that way and want to undermine it and consider it unjust and tainted by its past.
