1625014412653342722 | NEW on Wonkhe: The UK is a global leader in retaining students - but are they happy or being held hostage? Jim Dickinson wants students to be statisfied. @jim_dickinson https://t.co/cfjgSGcyPI https://t.co/OiqFTcgMbf | 1 |
1624410699433668608 | @jim_dickinson No international recruitment don't have to be based on reduced government investment to HE.

1625086072601612288 | @jim_dickinson No "climate crisis" is demanding any such thing. This is just the woke virus trying to infect every possible thing, especially education, because young people are the only ones who might believe the BS. #ClimateScam | 1 |

1625484081604575233 | @ReedOnly124 @jim_dickinson Incoherence is based. It wrongfoots opponents naïve enough to expect consistency from government types. | 0 |
1625586748062326822 | @jim_dickinson My best friend during my MA was a mexican guy on the same course as me. He was really bewildered by pubs and pub quizzes and came to the conclusion that they exist because british people don't actually like each other, want to talk to each other, or want one another in our homes. | 0 |

1624404904516222976 | @jim_dickinson I just came out from a falafel shop where an immigrant student is working at 5£/HR to survive in this country. His family could only arrange for 1 term fees and have applied for a loan to cover the remaining. Heartbreaking to witness how broken the education systems are here. | 4 |
