Despite there being more knife crime in the US. It's a Farage dog whistle

To a point. Research groups can be smaller but given expertise may be a discrete unit of 2-5 people. Unfortunately I have to lead a section of 9 academics from diverse areas, despite having no managerial training or skills.

I am astonished how many support staff there are in Bristol compared to Liverpool. It does make my life a lot easier for me, but there is clear redundancy of function is some areas with often 3-4 senior staff doing a role that needs 1-2 people

Redundancy is always more likely to hit academic and technical staff first-but there are masses of support staff, yet still increasing bureaucracy. Bristol has not got much choice in building as large parts of the Clifton campus are crumbling- and let's be frank selling that land for...

Indeed-Nottingham are in a dire situation too. Everywhere is cutting back even if redundancy is not on the cards

Basically yes. Two factors-the expansion under Blair (for UK students) for which the initial £3K fee was introduced to build infrastructure. The Cameron government then moved to the current fee system whilst vastly reducing government support but also lifting caps on student numbers and...

They are not in a good place financially though equally not on the edge of collapse like some (even in the Russell Group). Everywhere is cutting back.

Ultimately that was a decision of the Cameron government to move to the current fee and loan model. Prior to that fees mainly paid by taxation through HEFCE/HEFCW/SHEFC with the top up fee from the Blair Government. Now only clinical and some engineering degrees get a tax-payer top up. Working...

That's not a good example as a single university which has a specialism and link to local industry (Birmingham and jewellery) but there are many courses and many universities. However, the majority of overseas students are in STEMM, clinical degrees or professional leaning subjects like law and...

Better be careful what they wish for. The club owes Tan around £70million. He may want it back.

It's over two hours each way. Not really commutable.

On Radio 6 a lot. New stuff is a lot more commercial and less spiky.

Indeed. The AFC looks stronger though. Would be brave to bet against Kansas City again.

Hit the buffers rather. Still more than possible the entire NFC wildcards come from NFC North. Arguably Lions, Packers and Vikings are the best three teams in the NFC.

Lemmings is the right word. People are so naive to be taken in by the populist BS on social media. Notice no-one has posts about the rise in deportation of illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers since Labour took power. They need to think who is actually pulling the strings behind the...

I can't believe people fall for this absolute grifting scumbag.

No one with Stereolab as their Avatar had shit taste in music. Miss our music discussions.

That will upset some people. The few items I have bought have been decent enough.
