Ok, look, what's been particularly infuriating about the redundancies at Exeter (and Nottingham and Newcastle and and and) is this weird idea that it only affects those individuals and institutions. It harms us all because we are so closely interconnected.

Academic departments deserve to be saved, supported, resourced, allowed to grow even if they're not "best in the country," "first in the REF," "top-ranked," "at a Russell Group uni," or whatever other austerity-brained nonsense senior managers have been using to flimflam you out of solidarity

That a government boxed in by its own timidity proved unable to address the deep economic challenges bequeathed by the GFC, Brexit, the pandemic, the wars was predictable enough - the unforgivable bit for me, however, is the endless pandering to the profoundly fascistic tendencies in our society.

Nearly a 100 years after its closure, the Bauhaus is again in the crosshairs of far-right extremists: in Saxony-Anhalt, the German federal state where the Bauhaus Dessau campus is located, the AfD has plans to "heal" the "lack of national identity" they see embodied by it.

Unter all den erschreckenden Ideen im AfD-Programm Sachsen-Anhalt finde ich diese besonders verräterisch: das Bauhaus wird als „wurzellos“ denunziert, genau wie schon von den Nazis. Es geht hier um eine rechtsextreme Kulturrevolution, und da kann eine Landesregierung einiges erreichen.

Yesterday #r4today and Webb amplified Farage's racist rubbish, later in the day the BBC gave Goodwin air time to spew his own rubbish. Now Today is wondering why there were riots in Southampton last night... it is long past time the BBC recognised it is complicit in what is happening
