“We are shocked and saddened by the news of Professor Michael Burawoy’s passing. His untimely death is a great loss to sociology & to movements for justice around the world.”

Nearly another month in hospital with pneumonia. Huge love for the staff here. Good the Tories' poison grip will finally be prised off the NHS soon. Should be the market next, but that's not on the table thanks to Wes S and the working class hand puppet he's ventriloquising with.
