We have a pupil this year making an Oxford interview for Classics. Suffice to say our state school in the NE of Scotland doesn't get many pupils who do this. In fact we haven't had any Oxbridge pupils for any subject for 5+ years. Anyhoo we're very aware about how disadvantaged..

In case you're wondering why there's distrust among Black, Indigenous & other PoC when it comes to the medical field, here is another reason why. Those poor Punjabi women 😔. BIPOC have been abused & betrayed in the name of western medical advancement for centuries.

You can’t believe how kind the British are. Every morning, a van pulls up outside your house in Coventry. A friendly man brings you a freshly-baked flatbread to eat. It’s just for you,not anyone else in your family. Every afternoon he comes back to make sure you’ve eaten it. 1/

If you're going to defend the charitable status of private schools because of bursaries and scholarships given to the disadvantaged, remember only 4% of private school turnover is devoted to bursaries, and only 1% of private school pupils get to go for free. 1/2

This is not Section 28. It's worse. Section 28 didn't mandate that parents be informed if a 16 year old said they were gay. It didn't say that straight students' well-being had to be considered in a school's decision to 'allow' students to be LGB. It didn't outlaw my trousers
