om ni undrar varför skatten på bensin hela tiden går ner medan priserna på kollektivtrafik hela tiden går upp är det för att om det enda verktyg de har är en hammare (skattesänkningar) är det bäst för dig om du inte liknar en spik (arbetare).

For those who don’t know, the OU brought teachers like Doreen Massey, Stuart Hall, Margie Wetherell, Grahame Thompson, John Allen, Tony Bennett to design and write degree courses to anyone, regardless of prior qualifications often FOR FREE and until 2010ish for around £3-500 p.a.

This makes me happy and incredibly sad for what we let go … for how impossible it would be to set up anything with the intellectual, pedagogic, democratic vision of the OU now www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
