One reason why UK universities are in such a dire state is because they're increasingly being captured by management consultants. This article explains why this is happening: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@campbellclaret Good argument but we need to follow up an election victory with legislative action to protect democracy from the ‘lying right wing press and the dark money funded libertarian think tanks’ otherwise nothing will change.

If the Tories get punished on July 4, you won’t just be weakening a party’s grip on power you will be weakening the lying right wing press and the dark money funded libertarian think tanks whose ideas have done so much damage to the people and institutions of the country they claim to love. Let them all go down together! It will be nothing more than they and the country deserve

@DrAdrianBlau Crikey, have you been counting the notes? Have to agree with you about Finland's entry though!

So far, the majority of the Eurovision songs have had lead singers with only a 5-note range.

@sandiptodg @TheNewSchool What an excellent reply! Great to see someone in authority take academic freedom seriously.

@TessSLea That sounds like a good (albeit depressing) theme. I could offer some rich empirical material on that. :-)

@TessSLea Glad you caught it in time Tess - and yes, that’s a warning we should all heed!
