"These questions are borderline baseless—some private sec school teachers enjoy all you listed above and they still do not earn 133k monthly, talk more of a Ph.D holder. It is not everything you get to defend."

"Even if all of these were paid. It still doesn't mean anything. In 2024, after total deductions???????"

@Engrbimmy stressed:

"We didn’t even have HMO. Accommodation isn’t included here and feeding is a stretch."

@MilesN0x added:

"And so ?? Even if it’s yes to all your questions, it still a ridiculous amount."

@kayceenations shared:

"These are not a valid excuse to pay a PhD holder 70£ a month."
