    government should just not involve themselves with student loans imo. university fees would fall drastically, and corporations can fill the gap in terms of providing loans (if needed), in a similar method to what you have stated.

    i agree, but that can only happen when the government doesnt get involved with the provision of student loans. as it stands, universities will have to find a balance between finding the best students, and pandering to any government requirements (ie. being artificially diverse, running pointless...

    agreed that the uni entry system isnt perfect, but what would the alternative be? its a model used globally afaik. also, there is a coursework element, as well as multiple exams per subject - i'm not really sure how realistic it would be to overhaul this and produce something notably better...

    its worrying to see that the government dont have any cojones and have just given in to the masses here. this is not to say that their process for "normalising results" wasn't a load of rubbish either. like other "movements" and "protests" held by large portions of the population in recent...

    should've scrapped a-levels this year and just used a combination of gcse and AS results for uni places (given that it doesnt look realistic to seat all the students for a exam later in the year). lots of people on social media seem happy that we are now using teacher assessed results - with...

    thats embarrassing from them, i cant imagine the arsenal coaching staff would be happy with that at all

    Black Lives Matter

    absolutely this! people do not seem to be able to grasp that the interview process is not unlike an actual job offer in that theres a finite number of opportunities available, and requires resourcing to fill. the suggestions seem to be that some white people today must suffer for previous...

    yes, im refering to the nfl rooney rule. having an interview stage quota is a problem - it means that you arent giving an interview opportunity to the 10 best candidates who deserve it most. but instead, there will be occasions where someone misses out purely based on race (because of past...

    Racism in football

    i think the bigger issue is with racism from fans rather than players. you could argue that racism from players has been dealt with, with some success as players who are fined/banned for racism rarely get penalised for racism again, showing that the punishment is working (in terms of halting...

    Black Lives Matter

    let me clarify what i meant. i was highlighting that positive discrimination in order to attempt to right the past's wrongs, were punishing people today who should bear no guilt for past wrongdoings. everyone is an individual at the end of the day (whatever your race), and therefore no-one...

    i agree that their impact isnt huge, but what more can they realistically do? within the professional game, they have little jurisdiction in terms of handing out punishments. i dont see how they can do much more than continue being another voice in the fight against racism.

    no there isnt - thats what i, and other have been advocating. Affirmative action punishes people today for crimes committed in the past by others. its a delicate and unfortunate situation but im a firm believer that the best course of action is for everyone to act in an equitable manner from...

    unfortunately i dont see how we're going to get the likes of china and india on board any time soon. the "doughnut" seems to be a very western intepretation of fullfilment

    Black Lives Matter

    im sure there's arguments both ways as to whether defunding the police has worked in the areas of the US that you are refering to. my question would be, when has anything that supposedly isnt working well ever improved by reducing funding for it? we also dont want a "moral hazard" type of...

    look at whats going on in chop. look at the demands from blm. they want to control the political landscape without representation and implement a bunch of outrageous policies

    Black Lives Matter

    i think this is one of the negative fallouts from blm. i understand there arguments from all sides, including at a political level- but i think keir starmers comments are telling. those who dont have a hard left political leaning (ie. the majority of the uk and usa, dont believe cutting police...

    for the most part, everyone knows what is right and wrong. we're never going to be able to address those who chose to be outright racists unfortunately. the space we can improve in is addressing how unconscious racism affects minority communities. this is done through education, and not via...

    but at what cost? if the blm movement was the catalyst for these changes, was it even worth it? maybe i'm wrong, but i would like to think that whatever progress that has happened post George Floyd would've happened anyways (and not at a particularly long time scale either) also i wouldnt be to...
