@walkerjimbob @baryontensor After you “right an essay”, did the tewtor korrekt yore speling?

@baryontensor Did Economics at Cambridge. Usually 2 per group. Sometimes 3. Rarely 1 (usually only if a diary screw up). Would have 5x supervisions per fortnight. You right an essay for each and/or complete a set of problems to answer.

I'm reading about the history of the Oxbridge tutorial system and apparently they're meant to be as small as 1-3 students per tutor? I'm currently running something ostensibly called "tutorials" with 50 students per section.

@KieraDiss 70 year old middle class white guy here. We did this kind of stuff (and far worse), in suburban London in the late 60s. But you do your racist thing

A group of youths recorded themselves pushing multiple trollies down escalators inside London’s Westfield Shopping Centre. We can’t just keep ignoring the obvious.

@koshercockney @Airhead2

Shabbat Shalom. Thank you to all that are standing with the Jewish community, in particular standing with British Jews right now during a very dark time. So grateful. Sending love to you and all your loved ones. Will be thanking you in our prayers around the Shabbat dinner table tonight.

I hope all Britons who loathe racism will RT this in the light of the vile attacks on British Jews.

@HeidiBachram Nothing to do with “the left”. I’m as left as you can get, and I’m more concerned about his victims, as are most reasonable people

The left is more concerned about the terrorist who tried to murder Jews than his victims.

@jmseabs @paulmasonnews @Lambethgp @GreenPartyScott “Part-time comedian” 🙂

So we’ve now got a THIRD Lambeth Green Party Candidate (and second in Clapham Town Ward) to have posted anti-semitic content online @Lambethgp @GreenPartyScott are you still supporting your candidates in Clapham Town?

@scottroots Maybe lots of people were in the wrong starting pens? Maybe you were

London marathon stat based on Men gender position. At 5k I was in P13513, I lost another 200 places by 10k and crossed in P13719. By halfway I was in P12536 At mile 26? P8907. I overtook over 4,500 people, 80% of them were in the last 15km. What does that teach us?

@joe_turner177 Ok. So if you know him so well, give us a clue about why he dresses like that, and what it signifies to be teaching at a prestigious HE institution proudly wearing giant prosthetic breasts?

I know Matt as a lovely person and a brilliant educator, respected by students and colleagues at Oxford. Shameful but unsurprising to see the “gender critical” crowd harass someone with a different gender presentation just trying to live and do their job. Hateful bigots

@mindsci @jonsac No. It’s people like you who are responsible

After the Golders Green Jew stabbings, BBC radio invited me on to discuss the alarming levels of Jew hatred in the UK. As usual, they muted my mic near the end. As usual, I recorded it myself and restored the sound. Here’s what they tried to silence as soon as I mentioned the Green party…

@Smiliix @organ_concert @D__Melb @_chris96bcfc I’m not sure about that. I’m 70, my parkrun time is about 23 minutes at the moment, and a few weeks ago I ran a 3:51 marathon without too much difficulty. A 22 min parkrunner who does a proper marathon training block should come in easily sub-4

@organ_concert @D__Melb @_chris96bcfc But our point is that's it's not that realistic... I run a 19:30 5k and I would be very very happy to get a sub 4h marathon Also I'm not even sure I would be able to run a marathon at all at this point because I never went further than 5k 😅

22 - 25 is not average when 90% of the adult population probably couldn’t run a continuous running 5k

@raulmurry @Osint613 That’s a ridiculous thing to say. What on earth do the two have to do with each other? Except perhaps in the sordid minds of the most rabid antisemitic racists ….

@Osint613 Yes truly appalling and horrific. Shocking to see this on the streets of Britain. This will be roundly condemned and rightly so.... ....but contrast this with what happens when Israeli settlers inflict something similar on Palestinians on the West Bank

HORRIBLE FOOTAGE 🔴 First footage of the London stabbing attack. The attacker identified and targeted Jewish victims.

@runthinkwrite @_bezpilotnik @UniofOxford Never chop logic with a professional philosopher (even a PPE-trained one) ….

I know no such thing. This behaviour from Battley is obvious sexual harassment, just as the behaviour I discuss was, back in the 80's. It has the obviously forseeable effect of making female students feel intimidated, humiliated, uncomfortable, diminished, and reduced. Which was exactly how C and the other female students felt. It's not 'looking a bit unusual', just as the 80's behaviour was not just 'being friendly and informal.' In the eighties, female students were told just to 'ignore' it, not to take 'things the wrong way.' You are repeating that arrant, entitled, chauvinism. In describing it thus, you are minimizing it and excusing it. But that excusal is laughable, as anyone reading this exchange can see. You play precisely the same role as the male chauvinists in the 80s who told women to turn a blind eye. Perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised, since your party has become one of the main institutional apologists for, and purveyors of, obvious misogyny in British political life, from your leader downwards. I'm going to block you now, because there's quite enough male chauvinism about here without me having to watch you add to it.

Here's a story that will tell you a bit about @UniofOxford (and a bit about me). When I was an undergraduate in the 80's I had a girlfriend, who I will call C, who was not at my college (Trinity) and not on my course (PPE). Her college and her course had an eminent, youngish, left wing don, with a significant profile and a feminist-friendly reputation. But he was a bit of a drunk, and quite bit of a lecher, who made C feel uncomfortable, in the days when that meant something. C, being C, a socialist feminist, decided to do something about this, and put the word out that she wanted to do something. C arranged a meeting and *every single female undergraduate on that course in the whole college* - some twenty people- turned up. They reported the same sorts of behaviour conducted in private: drunk tutorials, inappropriate remarks, sitting down, too close, to individual student on the sofa, leering, organizing one to one tutorials, with the female students but not the males, oversharing about his private life, all the actions you can imagine. Every single woman knew what he was like, every woman objected, despite the fact that many of them had applied to that particular college because of their respect for him. By acting, C broke the spell. They arranged to see the head of the College. All of them, every single female student studying X at college Y. The head of the college had to act, and an unsatisfactory Oxford compromise ensued. The don in question was relieved of all undergraduate teaching and moved to a graduate only college. He wasn't dismissed, and there was no publicity. But I remain full of admiration for C. Sexual harassment at Oxford is not new - and this 👇is sexual harassment. Some clever men in positions of authority engage in this sort of action with impunity, particularly putting female students on edge, even when their behaviour is otherwise formally correct. It takes great courage to call them out, especially for female undergraduate students . But maybe, when you do, you will find that lots of female students feel the same.

@robjessel16 I don’t get it. If they’re present in the room, address them by their name, or the third person pronoun “you”. If they’re not present, refer to them however you please. They’re not present and won’t know any different, or have any reason to care

This is why I always use sex-based pronouns. From inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

@QueLesTermes90 @alvinfoo I don’t think you were allowed to take your ass or any other kind of animal on the bus, so I guess the problem of cleaning the animal would not arise

@alvinfoo How do you even shower? 50 days, ok there are sleeping bunks and you can eat. But how do you clean your ass bro? 😭 in the wild?

Did you know between 1957 and 1976, there was a regular bus service between London and Calcutta, India.The 32,000km, 50 day, 2-way bus route is the longest in the world. The bus had sleeping bunks and even a kitchen! For just £145, you get to travel with food & accomodation. The bus would stop at attractions and for shopping in Vienna, Istanbul & Iran The bus ride took passengers from England to Belgium, West Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Northern India.

@DavidDack For sure. I’ve run several sub-4 marathons on 6 hours a week of training

Can You Train for a 4-Hour Marathon on 6–10 Hours Per Week?

@CopperCation @UniofOxford He’s an absolute f*****g weirdo pervert. No place for him in any decent university. Even Oxford should be embarrassed by this one

The expression of duper's delight etched across this man's face is nothing short of sickening. It's a brazen display of contempt that insults both intellect and decency. Why, precisely, is this being permitted at the University of Oxford? @UniofOxford You are, or at least were, regarded as the most prestigious university in the UK, a historic bastion of academic excellence, intellectual rigour and civilised discourse. For shame.

@HeidiBachram Short answer. No

Yesterday in Brighton a Methodist Church hosted a ‘Sparring 4 Palestine’ fundraiser. Several of the fighters were wearing shirts erasing Israel from the map. A Holocaust denier also had a stall. Is this really appropriate in a Christian space?

@runthinkwrite @lynn_marwood @BenMclaine @ModernShy Jon Pike knows his stuff. Great thread

@BenMclaine @ModernShy ... I am sick of you charlatans, posing as the Left, who are, in fact anti-science sexist bigots, who express contempt for women. You haven't got a clue what you are talking about. Fortunately those in positions of responsibility in sport ...

TERFs do this weird thing where they pretend trans people just don't understand biology As if they would spend thousands on surgery if they were happy with their birth sex characteristics

@deninbtn @mara_yamauchi No. They don’t. Because none of that is true

@mara_yamauchi Pretty sure they don’t know you’re a bunch of bigoted bullies threatening the charity they are supporting.

We had a few cameo appearances from marathon spectators too! 🎶🕺🏽💃

@marypatriott @I_amMukhtar Because he’s a moron, and a massive bellend

@I_amMukhtar And you feel the need to pick on Russell Brand because?

Piers Morgan asked Russell Brand which passages were relevant to him when he brought a Bible into court.
