altus Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It is wrong but I don't see what can be done about it. Encourage intelligent right wing people to accept less money than they would otherwise make to become lecturers. I doubt you'd find it easy though. Anyway, what about all the Tories with degrees in PPE? The first P in PPE is politics and they don't seem to have been indoctrinated with left wing ideas.

saunaman Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Is this the same small guy who keeps making a fool of himself in the Speaker's chair , speculators say he is having a bit of a meltdown when wife Sally is away . He's definitely pro-Labour , not conservative , and is a bit of a class bully . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Shhh, don't let facts get in the way of crazy right wing conspiracy theories. Oh I think more academics are left leaning than right for the reason I've mentioned. I just don't think it's the issue that's being claimed. I doubt many business studies lecturers argue for the collective ownership of the means of production for instance. ---------- Post added 28-07-2013 at 22:44 ---------- Is this the same small guy who keeps making a fool of himself in the Speaker's chair , speculators say he is having a bit of a meltdown when wife Sally is away .

That fact notwithstanding, are you familiar with the general model of taught degrees in the UK? Via the tutorial model, it's expected that undergraduates will construct evidence with which to challenge their tutors. That's how it works. Your argument may, therefore, suggest that the UK undergraduate system is designed to breed right wingers. I don't believe it is. But I also don't believe you have much of an idea what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 That would be John Bercow the conservative speaker and Blunkett the right wing Blairite? Sounds like the OP was taught politics by Alf Garnett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradescanthia Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 You have to be left wing to KNOW anything about politics. All the right wing do is lie, fiddle, have leaders who are mates with THE WONGA.COM boss. Being right wing means 'making it up as you go along'. Just look at our Forum right wingers................'nuff said....... ---------- Post added 28-07-2013 at 23:23 ---------- Am getting very tired , have to be up in the morning for a proper job , must be nice for the University's lecturers to have a proper job and go back in September , respect is due to all you Left-wing academics , think I must have joined the wrong political party ! You most certainly did. Go to the bottom of the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
