Iris Duane: “It does make me feel quite sick.”

We have a moral duty as a country to help others in need, and maintain our status as a welcoming, kind and caring country that wants to see people succeed no matter whether they were born here or born in Palestine.

When speaking to students, they often feel as though their PBSAs were not good value for money, proving that the only people benefiting here are those who are profiting.

They are purposely setting out in droves, masked up to frighten others and remain anonymous while they spread messages of hate; particularly targeting immigrants and by default minority ethnic groups in the process.

International student numbers are continuing to fall. It is hard to see the justification for continuing to build more and more PBSAs when existing ones are not at capacity.
