  • OK, I will try and make myself clear.

    We live in very complex, fast moving times, and I am struggling to make sense of what's going on. So much so, in fact, that I'm probably going to enrol in some form of post-grad study so I can try and get a better understanding of what's happening to the world.

    I find that currently, in the public domain, informed debate has been replaced with finger-pointing and sloganeering.

    In the case of the Kevin Myers article, I believe he made some sort of link between the religious status of two women, and the gender pay differentials at the BBC. His point may or may not of been anti-semitic, I don't know because the article has been deleted.

    So my point, as such, is that I think it may be more dangerous to try and delete history (for all the best intentions), than to engage with the enemy head on.

    Save yourself the trouble; Give me 20 grand, I'll trouser it, then give you a reading list you have to source a pay for yourself and then lock you in a room with 300 International Students who can't speak English but are paying me 40 grand for the huge privilege of studying with you-then oblige you to nurse them through all class activities if YOU want to pass, then if you don't abandon the course half way through because of malnutrition and respiratory problems as a result of the poverty you're living in to pay your way through I'll print you out a shite certificate with a digital signature that no employer will ever check for you to hang above your toilet.

    Deal? It's certainly a great way to learn about your place in British society if ever there was one-your money will go to showing you that you're interests are inferior to foreign wealth and no matter how much talent you have, as soon as you can't pay you'll be ushered out the back door with your possessions in a bin bag.
