Students Unions and third sector, science fiction film and book, failure of brevity. All views likely stolen from wiser heads

@twlldun Yes that's also a good point

@DPJHodges I don't think the Iranians run their plans by Starmer to give him a heads up

@fesshole I've got one and even though it's not cancerous it's a good reminder to check for potential signs elsewhere on the body.

@fesshole Start dropping hints about your sonic screwdriver and, just like the TARDIS, it's bigger when it's inside than when you look at it from the outside.

@jim_dickinson There's honestly no subject on which him giving his opinion can't make matters worse.

@warybear @DougJBalloon @NateSilver538 It was often commented that the Tories held okay to massive majorities for much of this time yet often acted as if they didn't, probably because they preferred the vibes of railing against 'woke' than what would happen if they chose to change the law.

@dsquareddigest He was outraged at the implication Russians were paying him to say stuff he was going to say anyway

@twlldun Inside all of us are two brain worms

@DPJHodges @SnipingFrom If Josef Friztl was on the Republican ticket, both siders would be reminding us he was happily married for 56 years so he had some successes on the family front.

@ali__samson @DavidSmith237 Flawed thinking. Farage is clearly doing very well in the current model so no incentive to change. Yes it means unlikely to win power but if he does, he wins massively. So no real incentive to change or behave like anyone else.

@nickhillman No idea on law. CC guidance states "There is no expectation that trustees monitor personal social media accounts". States your social media policy should have appropriate guidance on making statements on personal social media but this again nuanced by position and risk.

[Niall Sweby @NSweby]

@NagingtonUoM @UWankings Also you would need to take regional effects into account. That national picture only really works if the HE genuinely recruits from across the country. For many post 92, regional demographics determine student demographics.

[Niall Sweby @NSweby]

@ali__samson I'm 50. Ever since I can remember the RW and news has railed against unions and issued dire warnings UK will 'end up' like France and Germany which they said were always about to collapse. Yet here we are with 6/10(?) poorest regions in Europe.

Another example of a person who expresses anti immigration views as response to his economically uncertain situation.

@twlldun They're going to be delighted when Meta rolls over for Trump to rub their tummy again.

@redwriter @alexarmstrong Are you thinking there was a King Charles when Magna Carta was originally signed, re written, amended and then annulled?

[Niall Sweby @NSweby]

Seems like the same people who talk enthusiastically about civil war in UK are the same who said we needed to roll over for Putin because it will cause WW3.

@Brian0501592610 @thesecureitvpn @darrengrimes Its £776 for the NHS payment a year per student, no exception. As the majority are in their 20s, healthy and have a lower prevalence of risky behavior of drugs and alcohol, useage is likely low and potentially a net contribution to NHS
