I think we could see a return to the UoL'er attitude as going back in time education was a divide set by the affordability of further education, which we could well see rearing its ugly head again (in England & Wales) with tuition fees being what they are. The introduction of tuition fees was an absolute scandal. The fact that it was introduced by the Labour Party, to whom access to further education for all should be one of its very core principals makes its introduction even harder to fathom.

Don’t disagree but my understanding is you have to actually say ‘university of life me’ preferably on Facebook to qualify as a UoL graduate. The University of YOLO has a similar entry and exam structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have to brag about "mummy and daddy" not supporting you in getting an education, as if having skint parents is some kind of virtue.

True UoL’ers wouldn’t want some wanky academic degree, they know everything they need to know (often their da is senior lecturer) and wouldn’t go to the real thing if you paid them.

I saw he'd replied to me but by the time I went to check it all traces of the discussion had gone. It wasn't really allowed to go much further. He did manage to throw in a few "I won't have the PC Brigade deciding what language is racist" or the like. PhD Graduate from the UoL, oor Shadwell.

You get a certificate of hard knocks or a degree of common sense. Entry requirements are being middle aged, overweight and red faced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
