‘Ultra-volatile’ enrolments cause ‘turbulence’ in student housing

In a nation full of bigotry, why should we engage with the work of musicians who are inspired by the English landscape? Is it possible to be critically nostalgic? kingsglobalaffairs.substack.com/p/listening-...

It's a farce and the time and effort wasted by admin around the country is disgraceful. Talk of a two speed ref contradicts principles of inclusion, whole point was to create level field for research funding. It's risible
