Is there a change uk conference, I sort of want to turn up with a "Down with this sort of tinge" sign.

E: 398 - John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, receives a delegation of clergy who want to close the pagan temples at Gaza (Palestine) where worshipers are openly defying the law. John works through the eunuch Eutropius, who has great power over emperor Arcadius, and within a week an imperial Constitution is issued closing the Roman temples, but the official appointed to execute this order is bribed. Jeremy Corbyn did absolutely nothing about it.

As a white British person of no religious classification, I visited Auschwitz Birkenau last Tuesday to pay my respects to the people killed by fascists.

That would be the REAL fascists.

The ones who could stand in front of children and happily send them off to death.

Not the pretendy fascists/bigots/racists who are the "meat on the bone" for subjective discourse that do not exist, to the many, who regularly post to these threads.

I post to say, visit and consider.

Pay your respects and tell everyone you have been, done this and push anyone who can, to do the same.

Anyone, especially the regular, hate ridden Marxists, who populate the monthly posts have two options.

(A) Call me a twat, but respect my opinion.

(B) loving hurty feels, we are superior , die BobbyThompson.. DIE!!

Get my point yet? You arrogant fucks, start accepting others instead of being an elite group of idiots.

Peace.

P.S. My caravan passed it's yearly damp inspection.

I mean, hopefully, but "Charles isn't bad but there shouldn't be kings" is pretty much the situation we have on the left now with Elizabeth, and I think there's going to end up being a very large contingent who are more in the vein of "I don't really give a poo poo, and at least this guy agrees with me".
Right, but what there isn't at the moment is a significant "Christ, Liz is a dickhead" contingent that there would be with Charlie.

I did have a question.

You know how yesterday we had a discussion on education? I was wondering what everyone thinks of University education as a thing? I have never been particularly good at it, but I wonder how many people enjoyed it and think it doesn't need to be altered fundamentally and those who would prefer it done a different way.

Personally I think one of the big things is that Lecturers are not there as teachers, they are there to do research and to occasionally do a class.

It's not for everyone and school doesn't necessarily prepare people well for university style learning and patterns.

It should be free but there should be a lot more alternative options available too. There's definitely an attitude in certain schools that it's a 'waste' if an above average student doesn't want to do uni, and employers use it far too much as a filter.

"Margaret Hodge clashed with the party leadership last year after calling Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite, but a disciplinary case against her was later dropped.

She vowed to fight to hold on to her position as election candidate for Barking in east London, where she has served as MP for 25 years.

Saturday’s vote was denounced by the Jewish Labour Movement as a “shameful” moment for the party which could not have happened without a “toxic atmosphere and culture of denialism” over antisemitism."

STEM jobs. Analogue systems will be phased out and everything is going digital. If you don't have digital skills in their most basic form, you're pretty hosed in the future.

Personally I think one of the big things is that Lecturers are not there as teachers, they are there to do research and to occasionally do a class.

It's not for everyone but it's a great thing for people who are suited to it. It should be free and funded from taxation and no-one should be made to feel like a failure for not doing it.

re. lecturers, that very much depends on the University and the position. My position is split between teaching and (rather specialised) technical support, so I'm not required to generate my own research (more specifically I don't need to bring in my own research funding) but that is pretty unusual. I love the teaching side of the job and without it I would have left for something else a long time ago.

There are plenty of excellent lecturers who take their teaching very seriously, and also plenty who fit your description exactly and concentrate on their research to the exclusion of all else, supplying prestige and little else. They are sometimes quite good one to one in tutorials but quite honestly their students are better off if someone else gives their lectures - postdocs standing in is not unusual.
