People ask me why retired old fart like me is so passionate about @ucu strikes Here is why encapsulated in a short video from wonderful young colleague @HanMGriffiths pay cuts & slashing of pensions was always going to hit younger Uni staff the most. @Bristol_UCU#ucuRISING

Today, I found out that I will not be able to attend a conference in Prague just because I can't find visa appointments! Being extremely angry at a system that doesn't think my residence permit is enough to enter the country, I wrote this 🧵on being of colour.

Hey @BristolUni look at this photo & zoom & look at ages of those on strike outside the LSB @BristolBioSci
They’re young ones, being hardest hit by cuts on pay & pension AND also being hardest hit with strike pay deductions & yet they STRIKE @Bristol_UCU@ucu
They WILL win
I’m famous with students for working the word potato 🥔 into every single lecture. If we can get tweet below 👇 to 200 RTs in recognition of sacrifices being made by our amazing early career researchers, then I will attend next strike day dressed as a potato
