I think he just wanted the kudos for being the one to look after them.

Did you watch ‘another installment of’ Home and Away, wear green socks and jog on the spot Rafa-style (with the roof closed for added drama) to prepare for your Cambridge job interview too?Without wishing to dox myself, as someone who lived in London for 5/6 years with a Cambridge fellowship, it's not that difficult to have the residency waived if you are present in cambridge for at least 3/4 of the term (8 weeks) - I just needed the College Council to agree, which they did. A university professor would either have to have the University Council and/or general Board to sign off - which I suspect they do often - Profs in law and business are often also in industry and live in London.
Cambridge is mad expensive - equal to most parts of London so most people live in the surrounding villages, but without a car you'd struggle. I can see why JA wouldn't have wanted to give up a house in Battersea if he owned it?
But living away means that you definitely miss out on the unique College experience, dinners etc and you're not arund to bump in to collegues and students on the street which happens alot.
There's a memorial to JA outside the University Senate House - flowers, candles and phots of him, I walked past this morning. Tourists taking selfies in front of it felt a bit too on the nose for this place...
It was. However this is the second time you've pulled up something I've written. The first being when I felt the thread should be paused. Rather than just advocate for it to stay open you clipped my specific comment.I understand this was no doubt really upsetting, but putting this random personal example ina. Thread like this isn't really helpful imo and is just the kind of thing critics of tattle will jump on. Sorry if I'm overstepping but it doesn't seem at all relevant to this thread
It’s absolute madness to do a daily commute to Glasgow from London with the expectation you would be fit to do a good job when you arrive. I can’t imagine Glasgow agreed to this ahead of his appointment. I wonder if Jason, like many academics (sadly and tbf) put research well above his teaching load. And I would be very interested whether or not the University then paid for the ensuing travel costs.I doubt he actually did anything for them. Their conditions weren't nothing, but they also weren't "we need a live-in carer."

They’ll be permitted their free speech though, when they get to define what racism and ableism is, and who has fallen foul of it.The greens seem to have forgotten they’re supposed to be about the environment

All I can think of, as I read the tedious description of what he was wearing is Adrian Mole. And Adrian's writing style, (as well as his fashion sense) was intended to be bad.Did you watch ‘another installment of’ Home and Away, wear green socks and jog on the spot Rafa-style (with the roof closed for added drama) to prepare for your Cambridge job interview too?
View attachment 4093684you know, cosgame, set, the result of thematchinterview was immaterial to you? View attachment 4093683
Yeah, exactly. I’m only up the road from Cambridge. I could’ve done that job. I’m not qualified, but that doesn’t matter.I was telling someone about his flying to Glasgow. They said did the University pay? I had assumed that he would have had to meet this cost but now, having seen all the craziness, I'm wondering!
Same with Cambridge was residence requirement relaxed as an adjustment & were travel expenses paid? Tbf a residence requirement seems a bit archaic when someone could commute easily from certain parts (east/north) of London.
To be fair they’ve always had a massive crackpot streak, it just used to be more covet.The Greens are increasingly bonkers and wandering well away from their original ethos and stance.
The calls for more and more clamp downs on free speech are frankly alarming.

Fun fact: I think about the colour of my skin - zero times a day. I think about the colour of other people’s skin - zero times a day.So a 20-page academic paper about…his own personal experiences? How rigorous.

Ooh I totally agree. I am a big fan of people turning off social media. I only really come on to tattle. I don't have Sm, however some people like jack seem to think thst being chronically online is a must!Everyone feels that being terminally online and expressing their opinion without criticism is a human right and any impingement on that from the opinions or mere existence of other people is intolerable harassment.
Everyone on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram could be talking about me but I wouldn't know because I'm not on social media seeking out commentary about me. People seem to forget that participation isn't mandatory. Same with Dr Dr Jack Monroe and Dr Jess Taylor. Anything other than them being able to say and do whatever they like without any criticism or pushback is harassment/stalking.
We definitely need an "eye roll" reaction.The Greens are increasingly bonkers and wandering well away from their original ethos and stance.

Exactly. Who tf defines what is 'hateful' language? It's laughable that anyone in their right minds thinks this can or should be policed.We definitely need an "eye roll" reaction.
Who gets to be arbitrator in this weird world they're envisaging here? Because some of their hanger ons give me the dry boke and shouldn't be allowed anywhere, never mind anything to do with control.
Ngl, I didn't understand word of that.So a 20-page academic paper about…his own personal experiences? How rigorous.

At this point I don't think he did a daily commute, everything is odd and off and highly improbable.It’s absolute madness to do a daily commute to Glasgow from London with the expectation you would be fit to do a good job when you arrive.
