Great story, despite all the opposition at the time and people saying
it couldn't be done, it happened and fifty years later is still going
and has established itself as a credible university with a strong
reputation around the world.
This
story shows that when the establishment says something isn't realistic
or possible, isn't affordable and dismisses it as a silly idea - they
can be wrong.
We can change things, we don't have to put up with
the status quo. We don't have to keep voting for the same people. The
system doesn't have to be the way it is and new ways of doing things are
possible. The people who profit off this current system certainly want
us all to think like that, believing things can't change. That this
rigged economy is the only way to run the system. Don't believe the
nonsense, they are just parroting what the financial sector wants us to
think, those scoundrels who caused the 2008 credit crunch, who are still
behaving the same way, recklessly gambling with the money people bailed
them out with. They divide us and like they always do they blame the
unemployed, immigrants, people on low wages, (basically any vulnerable
person too poor or weak to fight back) for the state of the economy; it
is smoke and mirrors to distract people from the real culprits who are
still gambling recklessly with the world's economy and don't care.
So don't believe the bollocks that things can't change for the better,
that we are stuck in a rigged economy. It's not true, things can change
and have changed in the past, we've just forgotten about it after the
long years of Thatcher style politics. The truth is we do not have to
accept this current reality, things can be better.
