I work at a private university as a Graphic Designer on the Marketing Team and found out yesterday afternoon that my boss, our blogger, and all five of our marketing managers were fired on the spot. Apparently the budget didn't allow for both an internal team and working with external vendors, so they chose to fire the people who'd worked for them for years doing the best they could in favor of outsourcing the work to some random firm that knows nothing about us.

Our taxes are fabled to pay for our public services, our fantastic NHS etc. Our welfare system is regularly criticised as being a drain on taxpayers money. Where is the uproar about Prince Andrew’s hush money? The Royal Family are a drain on this country economically and morally. Prince Andrew’s £12 million payment to Virginia Giuffre is an abomination.
