The deadlines have come and gone, now come the exams. Much of the past month has been spent studying for my final set of exams here at Imperial so there hasn't been much time to focus on other commitments. There are still some important updates you might be interested in...
❄️💷❄️ Freeze the Fees Demonstration ❄️💷❄️
Plans for a public action following the recent Freeze the Fees conference were put into action and on the 18th of April, campaigners from the Let Us Learn Campaign gathered outside Downing Street to raise awareness around the increasing prices for applications to renew residency in the country that are already disproportionally high.
Campaigners stood holding giant cheques directed to Amber Rudd, who has now resigned amidst the Windrush Scandal, highlighting the total cost per application. The visual representation of these exorbitant fees has garnered a lot of attention from the media.
