Alan Rickman (21 February 1946- 14 January 2016) portrayed Colonel Brandon in the 1995 film adaptation of Sense and Sensibility which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. Ten years since his passing the dignity and sensibility he bought to this role will never be forgotten.

I feel like actually access to knowledge and learning is a universal good which shouldn't be available only to the rich, to the 'time rich', to the 'clever', or to the 'hard-working'. It should literally be available to everyone to engage with, for enrichment, for knowledge, for a better world.
I wish there was more emphasis on access to education disentangled from employability and focusing instead on enrichment because people who engage with education (or have the ability to) as enrichment interact with it differently. (And that's a whole society thing, not an in-uni thing) 7/7
