Long trained to study the history of political violence. See above - on the right. @univofstandrews @CSTPV . But comments offered in a personal capacity only.

My new book 'Killing Strangers' is out now! Not to be confused with the Marilyn Manson song of the same name.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Aren’t we glad for the RMT’s train strikes in 2022 and 2023?

They were striking because Conservatives wanted to do away with train guards

How much worse would the knife attack on LNER have been without the heroic train guard who intervened?

When anyone strikes, it’s worth asking why

If it’s to protect safety, uphold standards, or ensure a proper service, we should be grateful that they prioritise the public over profits

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonCSTPV]

And utterly toxic it should remain.

[Maria Bowtell @MariaBowtell]

Our membership made it clear, we want:

MASS DEPORTATIONS✈️

It is legitimate, and it is legally, and logistically possible.

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonCSTPV]

Because whether he happens to be Muslim or not may not actually be the most important thing about him in context?

Just an idle suggestion.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

How the hell does the city that experienced the biggest Islamic terrorist attack in history vote for a Muslim mayor?

[RMT @RMTunion]

Thank you, Sam.
An absolute credit to the railway family.

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonCSTPV]

Wow. Re-read this abstract a couple of times and I'm still completely unsure who is doing the violence to whom.

[Alexandra Wilson @amwilson_opera]

Seriously, at this point we might as well just scrap the whole system of higher education and start again from scratch.

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonCSTPV]

Glorious, apparently.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The most comprehensive mass deportation policy ever produced in Britain.

It is glorious!

Yes, indeed - the semantic gymnastics of @BBCNews to avoid using the word 'rape' are indeed impressive here.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Possibly the most shameful @BBCNews act of cowardice yet- a report about IDF guards raping Palestinian prisoners which doesn't dare use the word 'rape'

And how the Cork militia beat the Turks at Waterloo.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Don't forget he ended the Bolivia/Armenia border dispute, the Swiss invasion of Japan, and the Nepalese attack on the Solomon Islands

People are still checking on Nambia...

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonCSTPV]

Will NOBODY think of the poor plutocrats?

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonCSTPV]

' - tragedies, yes, of course -'

[Michael Gove @michaelgove]

Grateful to @campbellclaret and @RoryStewartUK for their considered questioning and indeed there has been no genocide in Gaza - tragedies, yes, of course - but the ultimate responsibility lies with Hamas

[Rob B @RobBfromDerby]

Peak District yesterday - barely escaped with my life. 😂😂

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonCSTPV]

@NC_Renic Yes, indeed. St Augustine of Hippo had to negotiate research leave with his congregation, too.

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonCSTPV]

Awful.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

The suppression of Breakthrough News on YouTube in recent months is sooo outrageous. The numbers show it, we have over a million subscribers and suddenly can’t crack like 200 live viewers. And we keep getting comments like this.

If you work at YouTube and can help please reach out to me!

If you’re in media don’t dismiss this, it will eventually happen to you too if you’re left of center.

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonCSTPV]

@katheder Bloody hell - this litany of micro-observation is all a bit comparable to the French 'between dog and wolf' stage of twilight:

[Chris Williamson @DerbyChrisW]

The cat's out of the bag on @reformparty_uk's economic policy.

Nigel Farage made it clear yesterday that he wants to place the country at the mercy of rich people. Reform is a bigger threat to Britain's working class than Sir @Keir_Starmer's Labour Party.

It's further proof that the political class sitting in Westminster from Labour to ReformUK are totally out of touch with the lives of ordinary people.

The turbocharged Thatcherite tribute act on offer from ReformUK would be disastrous for tens of millions of Britons. The current neoliberal Labour govt is bad enough thank you very much, @Nigel_Farage.

What's required to fix the UK's economic woes is an interventionist govt that will:

▪︎ invest in modernising our crumbling infrastructure
▪︎ renationalise all the utilities
▪︎ remove the private sector spivs from the #NHS and every other public service
▪︎ reduce the basic rate of income tax
▪︎ introduce a higher minimum wage
▪︎ scrap the two child benefit cap
▪︎ increase social security payments
▪︎ start a massive council house building programme
▪︎ regulate private sector rents

If you don't want Britain to be turned into a nation of serfs beholden to the whims of wealthy oligarchs, do NOT vote for ReformUK.

Too many of my generation of journalists talk about 'radicalisation' without realising, as they would with a little self-knowledge and humility, that it is they who have been radicalised.

University administrators barred Prof Murphy from researching supply chains & forced labour

A grave breach of academic freedom at the heart of scholarship

Sheffield Hallam negotiated "to trade academic freedom for access to the Chinese student market"
