New BERA Blog "Talking back’ to the securitisation of higher education classrooms" discusses how in England, government counter-terrorism legislation places lecturers in higher education (HE) in a complex position....https://t.co/ubICz9Tpyh

I plan to continue vilifying these isles by complaining that poorly seasoned food should never be counted as cuisine. That cucumber sandwiches are an abomination...etc, etc...

Watch @BishopPaulB in the #HouseOfLords during today's second reading of the #NationalityAndBordersBill. The Government bill is proposed to tackle illegal immigration, but many, including Bishop Paul, have voiced serious concerns.

78% of 915 kids hospitalized last summer with COVID at 6 children’s hospitals were there not just with, but because of COVID; 1.5% (11/713) died, a death rate similar to some types of pediatric open-heart surgery. COVID in kids is not harmless. Let’s stop pretending it is.
You might not be worried about getting COVID
You may do just fine if you do
Problem is you may not do so well when surprised by a car accident, heart attack or leukemia because hospitals are struggling
Epidemics are about communities and not individuals. We share resources
We live in a country where the govt will ask the military to set up field hospitals & plan for mortuary capacity before enacting even the most basic public health measures to *prevent* this.
183,000 confirmed cases today - the silence is deafening.

@VictoriaCoren So excellent was your outfit that I felt the need to crack open the crisps and booze saved for New Year's Eve. Thank goodness for being able to watch (and pause) on i-player.
Spending per head on healthcare in Australia in 2019 was £4184. In the UK it was £2647. The G7 average was £3523. Bear this in mind next time someone says we have an NHS problem. What we have is a government problem.
Let’s remember that at end April 2020 I was reprimanded by someone from THE POLICE because I stopped in a park, alone and not near other people, to LOOK at a swan, while on a walk to clear my head before work on ICU next day
Hope you enjoyed the garden party @BorisJohnson
If you want:

- younger ones safe
- consistency of education
- highquality lessons
- no interruptions to learning
THEN MAKE SCHOOLS SAFE!
We shouldn't be begging ex teachers
We should be protecting the staff we already have
