"I came from the travel industry. We realised that a complete re-imagining of the experience was needed. You could not just replicate the experience of the travel shop online.” @debusultan #ConTechForum

I think we still have this work to do in Scholarly publishing.

@GavinWilliamson ~280k 18 year olds affected will likely never vote for the Conservatives their entire lives. No 18 yo forgets such trauma! Thats 12-13 votes/lifetime = 3.4-3.6 million lifetime votes lost for the Conservatives. Thats a lot of votes to lose (not counting parents, friends etc)!!!

[Debu Purkayastha @debusultan]

Today's car crash A-Level results is destroying so many students' lives - @GavinWilliamson's incompetence is breathtaking. In any other sphere of life this would lead to a firing or resignation - the Tories just lost 280k young votes forever. No 18-year old forgets such trauma...
