The University-Charity (Book Review)

Do British universities, as they are presently run, ‘advance education, learning and research’ for the ‘public benefit’, as required by charity law? Do the high salaries paid to CEO-like Vice-Chancellors? If not, then what? Mary Synge has an answer: “If a university is a charity, it is as much a charity as any other and must comply with the full reach of charity law” and if it behaves in a way that is not “in the best interests” of its charitable purpose “charity law makes the basis for a challenge.”

LGBTQwerty: The Thief of Innocence

Guests Posts

When I was little more than a tiny tot, I thought I was a dog. I would crawl around on all fours and curl up in the dog basket. I asked to have my dinner in a bowl on the floor and would retreat under the table when unwelcome visitors came to call. Once, I

Online Job Recruitment: A Candidate’s View

Guests Posts

Modern, online job recruitment scenarios almost always follow a predictable standard pattern:

First, a telecall completely out of the blue after months or even years of silence, from a casual, cheery-sounding commercial agency worker who talks from a script, with modern over-familiar style, first-name form of address, and insincere-sounding form greeting, as if he’s your long-lost best friend.

Who Will Stand Up For The Christians?

Guests Posts

It could be that Christianity, itself, may soon no longer be acceptable. The idea of combining the Muslim and Christian faiths into one unified religion, Chrislam, has been around for some time. Some view the actions of the Vatican in recent years as a step towards this union, and with the pope co-signing the Human Fraternity document with the Grand Iman of Al-Azhar  bringing closer co-operation between Islam and Christianity, many Christians are worried about the future of their faith.

Russell Brand’s journey of enlightenment is not political – it’s more important than that

Guests Posts

Brand’s ability to relate to common folk is perhaps his greatest crime in the eyes of his hecklers in the media-establishment, because his success affirms that one does not need a privileged background or a degree from a (paradoxically titled) Russell Group university, to speak with insight on matters of contemporary importance.

Who Cares What Gender You Are?

Guests Posts

Being yourself is hard. It’s especially hard for young people who are still figuring out who they really are. I understand how a simple explanation for all the confusion and wacky emotions that come with adolescence is tempting. Gender ideology not only offers that, but it also offers the chance to belong to a marginalised group and be part of, not just a clique, but an intense movement. What young people need to understand, however, is that it is much more satisfying to discover yourself as an individual and not as a label.

Ruth Perry: The Tragic Victim of Ofsted’s Petty Bureaucrats

Guests Posts

Ofsted could learn something from the late Ms. Perry. Instead of tormenting schools with non sequiturs, use a bit of good old-fashioned common sense. She did. She knew her school and the children in her care. She didn’t need a spreadsheet to tell her. And, according to the people who matter – the parents – her school was wonderful.

Government turns a blind eye as schools continue to teach Critical Race Theory

Guests Posts, Politics

Education secretary Gillian Keegan recently said that ‘white privilege’ does not exist. She also made clear that schools should not be teaching it as an irrefutable fact of life in modern Britain. This comes two years after former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch warned that teaching such questionable political ideas as uncontested truths is dangerous and, more to
