She kept asking if she was going to die. A simple tourniquet would have probably saved her life. Edited 19 January 2021 by Collymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alf Bentley Posted 23 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 23 January 2021 Turbulent times in Russia. Will be interesting to see where all this goes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55778334 "Hundreds of people have been detained as police try to stop nationwide protests in Russia in support of jailed opposition politician Alexei Navalny. Mr Navalny's wife, Yulia, said she had been detained at a protest in the capital Moscow, where officers were breaking up the demonstrations. Thousands of people have already taken part in rallies in Russia's Far East. OVD Info, an independent NGO that monitors rallies, said that more than 800 people had been detained so far in protests across the country. Thousands are currently attending a protest in Moscow's central Pushkin Square, where police have erected metal barriers to deter demonstrators". Brave man and brave people. A bit different opposing or demonstrating against Putin, compared to anything in the West.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a big sigh. The Empire didn’t even exist before Chaucer’s death, how is this in anyway ‘decolonisation’? There’s plenty of good in wanting an equitable society but Unis need to put their foot down once in a while and say when stupidity is stupidity.

There’s plenty of good in wanting an equitable society but Unis need to put their foot down once in a while and say when stupidity is stupidity. Because it has nothing to do with wanting an equitable society, it's neo-liberalization of higher education. The stuff about decolonizing the curriculum of course comes with staff redundancies and vague promises to compete globally. Expect more where this came from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true mate. ‘Pink capitalism’ as they call it, just like when they talk about taking Uncle Ben off of rice packets and get the Daily Mail frothing about ‘the left’. Realistically it’s highly paid execs who think that’s what’s hip. But it isn’t helped by a fringe that’s given far too much thought on Uni campuses.

Yeah there are plenty of academics who buy into it. I don't think it's a conspiracy, just that it's a way for not particularly intelligent people to be successful at university and also convince themselves they're on the 'right side of history'.
