Poverty, evil billionaires, government capture, poor management, and the collapse of cultural life. https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/university-nottingham-set-cut-600-10933176

Just a little of your humanity, your compassion, and your noble stance. I beg you, a small plea that could save me and my children. Can you stand by me this time as you have stood by everyone before us? The landlord will soon evict us. We don't know where to turn.🙏😔
