UK here. When I went to uni in 2005, it was £1300 a year (I did four years), when I did my masters in 2009 it was £3000. My younger brother started his degree in 2010 and it was £9000 a year. Did he get 7x as good an education as me. I DOUBT IT.

You can always tell whatever the UK equivalent of a boomer is when they talk about 'the grant', where they lived in a crazy fantasy world that existed up to 1998 where the state supported its students. "Oh don't you have the grant" "but you've got the grant don't you?".

When the subject of housing comes up in general, there's the term 'pulling up the ladder' used, referring to those who 'have' exploiting those who 'do not have' in a 'fuck you got mine, jack' mentality - as one of those who got the least worst deal, I'm kind of stuck as how I can help those who got shafted. Both Labour and the Tories suck in this regard, and the Lib Dems' record on tuition fees is absolutely legendarily awful and they can NEVER EVER be trusted.

I'm wary of this. The last thing I want is my newly-compatibilised GOG game to run on Windows 10 but lose support for 7. What I want is GOG to spend equal effort getting the older titles running on their original target systems, then -XP or 7- specifically, with modern Windows support following naturally from those OSes. Some of the GOG titles like Jazz 2 won't install on their original destined OS (200 mhz pentium) because the GOG installer doesn't support Windows 98. That's not good.

And definitely they should always keep the full update history of every item available in a dropdown on the GOG -website- interface, not Galaxy. The last thing I want is GOG to make my GOG library -not- work on the computers I already own in pursuit of compatibility with computers I don't.
