England’s universities flex their muscles to hike fees, while students get a bum deal

The ‘business’ emphasis, nay obsession of English universities does us all harm. I write from Scotland (which has similar problems, albeit we are not charging home students an extortionate amount - ‘Labour - hold our beer’). But this effects us as well. Started by Blair, boosted by the Tories and emphasised by Starmer.

One of the most outrageous features of the pro #Palestine & anti- #Israel demonstrations on #university campuses over the last year has been the effort to exclude #Jewish students from campus space. There is no more fundamental curtailment of students’ right to free speech than preventing them from attending class or moving freely around the campus.

Of course, the Associated Press failed to report on any of this when reporting on the protests.

How f***king dare they?

When do anti-colonialists finally revolt?🤬

#OpenUniversity: divesting from #Israel is now beyond imperative. The #university is f*all if it is not a critical institution. And the purpose of critique is to overturn the powers that oppress.

BREAKING: #PalestineAction steal sculptures of #Israel's first president, Chaim Weizmann, from the #University of #Manchester.

Weizmann secured the Balfour Declaration, a #British pledge written 107 years ago today, which began the #ethniccleansing of #Palestine by signing the land away.

Weizmann described the #indigenous #Palestinian population as "the rocks of Judea, obstacles that had to be cleared on a difficult path".

From the Balfour Declaration to today, #Britain remains an active participant in the #colonisation, #genocide and occupation of #Palestine.

„The patterns we have observed concerning Israel’s military conduct in Gaza indicate a systematic and organised campaign to destroy life, conditions necessary for life, and life-sustaining infrastructure.“
