Students moaning about lockdown food should count their blessings'A student’s mind should be on higher things; like having as much sex as possible,' writes Rob Crossan Wtaf? Shocked that the Torygraph is promoting casual sex given the general Victorian values it promotes. Not higher things like.... learning? Students who're on lockdown food (in the case of LancasterUni to the tune of £17.95/day) are quarantining, not allowed out It'd therefore be unlikely they're getting loads of sex £125/week on food might've been normal for Rob Crossan's uni days, not for most students Seems they need a slot in their mobile for that. Or a pop out. Depends. All featured by an app. Otherwise they're lost anyway.
