French linguist Bernard Cerquiglini

The French language doesn't exist, its just misspelled English.

Certainly to make it on the basis of an exam alone. I think the original plan was more involved but the baby boom meant there was less money per student.

Well yes, that too.

And we never built the more than a handful of technical schools.

You do also have to build the rest of the system as well.

A few decades ago, the British press said the same about Martina. They called lesbians sexual predators for changing in the same rooms as “vulnerable” or “normal” (read: heterosexual) women. The media’s transphobia is recycled homophobic trash. So it’s even more perverse when gay folk say it.

I'm old enough to remember when voting for a political party meant you *didn't* get the other party's stupid ideas.

Watch how everyone involved in this Mandelson business has ensured that - at every step - they have a degree of plausible deniability. This is how people in senior positions get away with doing what they see as necessary while covering their arses.

One of his patterns is just asserting positions rather than setting out why he thinks they're true, and I do wonder if he was basically never challenged on his political views until quite late in his political career.

I still can't understand why "getting a sustainable HE funding system in place" isn't a/the KPI for all VCs.
Instead, we get constant shrugging of shoulders while saying "my pockets are so stuffed full of cash that I can barely raise my shoulders. So really, I'm the one who deserves some sympathy!"

I'm a senior civil servant and my job is keeping naughty secrets from the Prime Minister. Tee hee, I'm so mischievous!

I always find 'doula' a really odd word.

The WOKE LEFTY ELITE don't want you to know about

The combination of BD 74,8, and 2 in the tomb of Tjuneroy.

Brb, submitting a complaint that not a single university in the UK has invited me to talk about textual variation in the Book of the Dead.

I AM BEING SILENCED

(I've got nothing for Q)

Mmm, nop(e)

Gee.

AI ruins so much.

Wait until you learn about “vegetative electron microscopy.”

... because you saw this photo?

Well, yes.

True. And you *can* make a (bad) argument for that in the humanities. But I shared a flat, in the early-to-mid-2010s with a radiology student, and the oldest books for their course that were still useful for them then were from 2008.

This approach does also assume that knowledge doesn't evolve, and also that what students want/need from lectures remains the same.

And, in a very real sense, the PM too is late for the flight to political success...

"I do not drink... wibe"

Right. You don't need a complex vetting procedure to see that appointing Mandelson is a bad idea, because it's gone wrong *three times before*.

Avigad Halaham?

Also, 80 seats for Reform would be bad!

Depends on which bit of the humanities, too. You're not going to be doing much debating on the average language module.
