Planning to offer up to 14 scholarships to Refugees (presumed locally based)

They've taken a bit of heat because of it, but mainly because of their brilliant no nonsense response which I would applaud them for. |  | | |  |

Well, she thinks it is "crass language".
I don't think she's heard any songs by Crass, do you? |  | | |

It's social media outrage 101.
Get offended over nothing and make sure you include why you have special right to be offended.
I'd love to control a few big company/institution Twitter accounts for the day... | |

Indeed.
And I'm not sure those getting upset would have preferred the less whimsical but likely more accurate, "F@ck off, you cold-hearted, small-minded tw@ts". |  |

Is similar financial support available to refugees in a county with a biggish village green? |  |

lots of universities have had student fund raising to finance similar things. why would anyone object to support for refugees. the real concern is, if they have confirmed refugee status, that they are having to rely upon charitable funding to go to university. [Post edited 5 Jul 2018 11:49]
