@RFMacDonald @MayorJD Putative Mayor Driscoll looks very impressive in the Henry V outfit... good luck South Tyneside!

Congratulations to, solidarity with, Prof Jo Phoenix, on her court victory against the Open University. Not only is the efficacy of social science defended, so is academic freedom, against unprincipled bullying and loss of courage by a once great institution

Retired September 2019, leaving in my wake much disquiet, evidenced in visceral ongoing industrial action by university lecturers. I loved doing my academic job in a golden age now destroyed. What a pity for why?

@alex_hall3 Alex, completely agree, to chill, for now. I'm fearful about what is and has happened. Solidarity and support, to give it a rest for a while... Colin

@littler_jo @RFMacDonald The university - as Rob's journey attests and exemplifies - is a place of free intellectual enquiry advising the powers that be about the profound errors of their ways. They have not listened and we are all stupider.

[Colin Webster @profcwebster]

@RFMacDonald Rob is correct because of unique balance of light and shade, lifting of spirits with a residue of shadow and melancholy, a reminder of arriving at this place from the city constricted by... people, politics and proximity. Vistas, walking and nature against depression!

@interestingaf Similiar behaviour to a utility company executive.

@DrSuzYoung @UniversityLeeds Well done Suzanne. Give a talented individual a proper place to work and they blossom.

@Billthecrim The Magistracy has nothing to be proud of in terms of its own offending going back to its ordering of the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester in 1819, which still riles Mancunians like me...

[Colin Webster @profcwebster]

@qurbanist This research encapsulates everything that is wrong with Manchester's approach to regeneration, which is taking us back to the early 19 C 'Rotten Borough' for the benefit and rich pickings of rentier plutocrats and autocrat rulers of UAE..

@ProfSexualities As Prof Kingston and Dr Cooper confirm as lucky to belong to a good supportive academic team, my happiness or misery quotient throughout my academic career has been a direct function of whether surrounded by cooperative, selfless, reliable and honest people.

@RFMacDonald Few have forgotten how terrible everything was last Christmas for the ruled. It takes a reckless Christmas party among the rulers.
