A hobby of mine is looking at BBC Question Time panelists each week, and see who is/isn’t Oxbridge. With Tom Kerridge, a celebrity chef, on the panel this week, I looked at the last six shows. Only 3 people out of 25-26 panelists hadn’t been to university. Kerridge, Nadine Dorries (nursing trainee in Warrington) and Stuart Andrew (worked for the DWP). So, the new Green MP, Hannah Spencer, has a pretty different background to a lot of MPs — two NVQs, plumbing, setting up as self-employed. Parliament needs to look more like the country.
guess who’s a cambridge offer holder 😛😛😛😛😛
Philologists, i need your help and recommendations!
I'm a belarusian 16 year old guy, who graduated from high school in june 2026. So i want to become a philologist, especially literary philologist. And I'm gonna go to pre master degree to belarusian philology. Well that means i will study belarusian language, belarusian literature, the history of belarusian literature, also a lot of culture classes and a lot of more like that
And i am confused now because after finishing my pre degree i don't wanna go to work like just as a teacher of belarusian language and literature to just the regular school. I wanna go to master degree and after it to PhD and etc.
Well, what is my problem. All my life i have been learning foreign languages: English, mandarin chinese (they're my two basic languages which i am learning now), polish, finish, norwegian, spanish and etc. So i am so confused because i don't know can i go to master degree or phd not in a belarusian philology or just for example classics, english or german philology? And i want to study master degree and phd in England, US or in taiwan for example. So i want to be a literary philologist, who has knowledge in all world literature (or in just belarusian/slavic literature and in european). And i need recommendations about it
I wish i was a literature teacher in private school or private college like Mr Keating from dead poets society or like Julian Morrow from the secret history by Donna Tartt
What do you think about it and can i do it?
Thank you for reading
