Flu is not completely unavoidable. It is if we simply do nothing to avoid it.

Indeed it has meant that even the "world-class excellence" discourse in academic terms has been thrown out the window. It's no longer about what we do and how we do it but about how much income academics and departments bring in. 'Contribution' = £. :-(

Indeed, and needless to say revealing huge ignorance about what made 'western civilisation' possible and who was part of it from the very start

I get the really strong feeling that anyone who bangs on about western civilisation is likely to be someone who is just scared of brown people, and never actually experiences what modern diverse societies look and feel like

You couldn't make Love Actually today.

Well, no. If only because when our Prime Minister thinks about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport he is working out how to refuse entry to fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.
