🚨British students mourn ‘beloved’ Ayatollah telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/0…
You are my union branch. In 2020, when I received death threats at work, because of my gender critical views, you refused my request that you issue a public statement condemning these threats. Later, in 2024, you lined up with Senior Management at the Employment Tribunal brought by @JoPhoenix1 who was constructively dismissed by the OU. You did precisely nothing to protest these violations of our academic freedom. You did nothing to protect us. Indeed, leading activists at @oubucu were heavily involved in organising these and other violations of our academic freedom. You were deeply complicit in those violations. You should be aware that many academics at the OU including many in the branch and, indeed, across the @UCU will greet union statements about academic freedom with a hollow laugh. Still, I suppose I slightly admire your chutzpah.
The world has lost a true people’s hero. To be true to Ali Khamenei’s vision, we must now destroy the Zionist entity. No ifs, no buts. End Zionism now!
What we are seeing is the disintegration of the last remnants of the international rules-based order and the precarious dawn of a new era of might-is-right in international affairs. You might start the clock with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, or even earlier with the US war in Iraq, but the fact remains that the UN has lately proven itself both incompetent and irrelevant. Make no mistake, this is a troubling state of affairs- the world would be a more perilous place in the absence of international law. But to carry on as though this is not the case, to rail against the violation of international law which this war undoubtedly is and not to mention the fact that these same international laws and norms did not prevent the slaughter of 30,000+ innocent Iranians just 6 weeks earlier, nor stop the regime from terrorising its people and others in the region for decades... at best you a misdiagnosing the problem. At worst you are complicit in it.

On Tucker Carlson's insane suggestion that Jews in Israel obtain a DNA test to prove their connection to Israel: The demand that Jews who came to Israel from Europe must “prove” Middle Eastern DNA, as Tucker Carlson argues, rests on a bizarre belief (among many): that genetics would produce real-world consequences. As if Jews who “failed” would say “fair enough, let’s pack up”or the U.S. would respond, “you’re European, get out we can’t ally with you any longer.” In fact, numerous genetic studies already show Ashkenazi ancestry tracing back to the Levant. e.g. med.stanford.edu/news/insights/… But we all know this isn’t about evidence or scientific curiosity. It’s just another way for Tucker, and others who question the "Jews from Europe," to channel deep hostility toward Jews and Israel by “just asking questions.” No one would ever propose such a test for any other people in any place on earth.
This is going to cost unimaginable amounts of money as my generation stops working past the £50k threshold. Many will be reducing hours or refusing extra work. A productivity nightmare. I’ve been working as a doctor for three years. My repayments don’t even cover the interest.
Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.
