Britain's universities were pushed - forced, really - to make themselves completely dependent on international students. Now they are about to have the rug finally pulled from under them. There is not a single word British central government could say that I would ever trust again.
The flood of university redundancies is now running too quickly for me to keep track, but this week I've noticed the following among the ragged and saddening retreat:
*Aberdeen
*Exeter
*Falmouth
*Newcastle
*Plymouth
*Trinity St Davids

Spring reminder, as people start to think about gardening: NEVER buy compost with peat it in (inexplicably still on sale). If it does not say "peat free" in big letters, do not buy it. Peat is incredibly valuable in peat bogs, for rare biodiversity and as a carbon store. Don't put it on your garden!
