I'm sorry but a 6 months fixed-term lectureship that includes research, teaching and scholarship and has responsibilities including designing and developing courses, teaching materials and curriculum proposals, income generation, and strategic future orientated planning is absolutely wrong ARU. 1/

Literature only on the back of British Airways seats. I didn't have any on me though.

I'm in the hotel lobby killing time before my flight and this guy has been staring and smiling for hours.
It's not that I don't realise it's a cardboard cutout, but I'm tired, sick and drifting in and out of sleep so I forget each time I am woken up.

'Change'. Still centrism.
Is this left looking right or centrists nodding at, as opposed to attacking, the left.

Yes, AI can be used to radicalise, spread misinformation and disinformation, but policy and power matter more. Also, don't use AI for a synopsis of films when writing essays or renting.

This is not racist, it's classist & an example of elites attacking anti-racist by projecting racism onto the white working class as if bottom up & defending them against that representation. Old divide-rule & distraction tactic + right wing & @thetimes.com. Why buy & re-sell it @novaramedia.com?

In my neighborhood. Red paint & property damage at the taxpayer's expense is designated terrorism in some cases & legitimate in others. The politics of this 'double standard' is consistent though: genocide & fascism are acceptable & opposition to them, like migration, is a threat to the nation.

The problem is definitely social media and online radicalisation of our youth ... say politicians and mainstream media.

This is a clip from my interview with Raees Khan on BBC Radio Manchester (BBC Local Radio) about Lord Anderson's review of Prevent and the response to the far right following the Southport riots.

You can support racism, fascism and genocide, but not oppose them. That causes outrage, bans and criminal investigations, instead of an endorsement in a major establishment broadsheet - despite the 2024 far right riots. That's where we are.

Some good research on this. I came across this catalogue a while back. Had heard about the older stuff, but not the later songs that overlapped with grunge.

Sick of this reductive framing as religious/biblical hate/conflict. It makes it irrational, equal(ly so) & understandable but untouchable by logic or law. It's a modern case of settler colonialism & genocide by a state abusing the memory of the Holocaust & using hi-tech weapons & PR.

It is a mistake to think the Liberals are left seeing off the right/far right by moving to the centre like elsewhere as many are claiming. Liberals are centrist & we need a strong left, but imagine others opposing the right addressed actual needs instead of just serving more racism & reaction!
