One Nigel 😀

UK universities must break their silence around harassment and bullying | David Batty£87m spent on ‘gagging orders’ is part of a wider lack of transparency in the handling of staff misconduct, says Guardian news editor and writer David Batty I'm not in a legal position that would allow me to comment too freely on this matter. FYI ko_kendra_ahau cf Auckland They never will because they have to defend their reputations for profit and will hence continue to cover up these matters unless the sector is appropriately regulated - which students pay for as consumers and it is shocking that Universities consider themselves above the law.

Editorial: If MPs truly value democracy, boycotting the European elections is the last thing they'll doWithout the promise of a second referendum, it will be an important test of how opinion on Brexit has changed since 2016.

It's the European union who don't value democracy. I don't understand why the UK gets all the criticism about Brexit,&the EU gets none besides British pounds and more British pounds. Anyone with any self respect left will LEAVE the EU!
