He said: "By shifting the vast majority of university funding into the hands of the aggregate decisions of 17-year-olds, the English system of choice has become an enormous machine for finding out who has the best marketing department, with some world-leading research sprinkled in certain places."

Quite the quote from the John Blake, the former director of fair access at the Office for Students

UBI is not free money, but a reduction in paperwork.

Up to 40% of people entitled to social benefits today aren't getting any because they have conditions preventing them from navigating the bureaucratic process. UBI removes that hurdle.

UBI isn't about the money, it's about being fair.

If you are 'anti-Zionist' then you must be pro-Jewish settlement in Europe, in North America, in Australia and NZ, etc, and should be in favour of the return of stolen Jewish lands and homes across Europe.

If you're not in favour of Jews living *anywhere* then indeed you are just an antisemite.

We lived all over Europe! In countries that often put up only token effort to stop the Nazis murdering their Jewish populations. And which to this day have mostly done fuck-all about trying to return Jewish lands to the families of those who were murdered.

I had a brilliant conversation about this recently with Mungi Tutu, the granddaughter of Desmond Tutu. She said: when non-Jewish Europeans said "a land without a people for a people without a land" about Palestine, that was racist both toward Palestinians and toward Jews. Jews had land!

As any working UK university academic could have told you any time in the last 2 decades, the system is structurally screwed, and was doomed to implode from the day the fees-and-competition fix was in.

Israel is more reliant on the US today than it was in 2022. A lot of people have seemingly concluded the exact opposite based on ?

Most of the campaigns Molly Shah verified here are also available at gazasupporthub.com.

We started this project when Molly was attacked the first time. To ensure her hard work was protected.

I've had limited time to work on this lately after Dad died, but will pick it back up in Molly's stead. ✊

Fun fact that lying UK journalistic hacks won’t tell you because they hate Labour: Boris Johnson did not pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. #UKPolitics

Absolutely not saying nobody else should be held to account for all this, but Mandelson for the umpteenth time is the actual villain here and again for the umpteenth time seems to be wriggling out of it while everyone else is looking elsewhere. He should be in prison, and isn't.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.

“And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

A reminder that we did this.

A major milestone. No GC/TERF/transphobe organization could hope to get this number of names on a petition.

Well done!

Ironically the BBC stumbled on a really important story: Desperate asylum seekers being forced to turn to fraudulent fee-charging “advisors” to navigate a system that is intentionally impossibly baroque and from which all sources of free advice have been removed.

But no: they chose Fake Gay Panic.

When it comes to sexual assault, asylum, domestic violence, the structural reality is that people (especially migrant women) are faced with great suspicion, scrutiny, and stigma for making such claims. Any reporting that obscures this reality only further institutionalises racist, sexist inequality.

The right to protest isn’t a gift from government. It’s a democratic principle, hard-won and easily lost. Last night the government tried to smuggle through a “cumulative disruption” power that would let police ban protests simply because other people had protested in the same area before. (1/5)

People ask me all the time for my favorite Onion headline, and there are like 200 of them, but my favorite recent print headline is easily this:

this is why the whole "we should be permissive towards bigotry for the sake of political expediency _except_ antisemitism" consensus is complete nonsense and will never work. do you think the "god hates f*gs" people have particularly enlightened views on judaism?

However much it spends on defence, a country without an adequate welfare system is not a safe country to live in.

Thanks! Good to see the Freud reference too.

Found it on your site!

I can find it in the UL but there doesn’t seem to be an electronic copy.

I probably got the magazine as an alumna but don’t remember the article. Would you be able to send it to me?
