I was not exaggerating when I wrote that, without my experiences at university, I would not be living with Lyn. Uni taught me that I didn’t need to rely on my parents, that, with the right systems in place, I could be independent of them. It taught me so much socially, that when I think that many kids like I was aren’t going to get the opportunity to go to university because it now costs too much, it makes me sick. Perhaps I’d have gone anyway – who knows – but it revolts me to think that many young people are going to be denied the experience I had because of the narrow-mindedness and treachery of our current government. That is why, all being well, I will shortly be getting on the bus and going in to central London to march with my fellow students.
