Cos the WMC banks are evil and don't just give out money...

We of course saw the impact of that with vbs, but shhhh don't let reality get in the way of a cadres access to funds.

The funny thing about that is the other day during the Ukraine Parliamentary debate when John was talking, some MPs heckled him with the "Go get your Matric" meme. I find that the people who unironically persist with this meme look even less educated since the guy does have Matric but no further qualifications. (Listening and Reading comprehension in SA aren't popular skills...)

and matriculated from Northwood Boys' High School, an English-medium high school in Durban, in 1993. He went on to study a course in political science at the London School of Economics and Political Science, but has never obtained a university degree.[3] He once told Parliament that he had enrolled for a bachelor's degree in politics and law at the University of South Africa in 1994, but he could not finish the course due to work and financial circumstances.[4][5]

Problem is that for people who have degrees, EFF leadership don't seem to be very bright going by the things they say and do? That's the point...

It depends on the type of degree... The ones they have clearly don't teach them much practical stuff for the real world.

Good thing he never pursued that politics qualification, it would have been more scandalous.

His dishes do look ****ing horrible, does he go out of his way to make them as physically unappealing as possible?

I would also question the brightness of anyone who doesn't understand that politicians would say anything that would get them support and votes.

A language degree is fine, political science to a degree (pun) as well, but a philosophy degree? What do you even learn while studying for a philosophy degree?
