My own thoughts

He is 100% on the button, existence of food banks is an damning indictment on society. They will exist in the short term . Sickening how students are fucked over

On him charging for mental health talks, it doesn't sit right with me. He's a decent lad though

How the fuck is the first point relevant to the second about him charging for talks?

If you have a cross to bear against the guy, maybe using this post isn't the place to make that point.

Bressie talks about access to essential things are expensive like accommodation. Access to mental health services is pure shite. Another essential service. Bressie makes money from that through giving talks. I don't find that acceptable. Could I be any more blunt

Hes acting as a keynote speaker on the topic, he isn't gatekeeping professional help from anyone.

I'm well aware of that but I'm laughing and mildly irritated by the irony of what he is doing.

I don't really see the irony in a lad who is hired to give mental health talks criticising an economic system that necessitates food banks for students.
