'Hanging bankers' prof is suspended
Chris Knight, professor of anthropology at the University of East London, is organising protests under the banner G20 Meltdown. He told BBC Radio 4's PM programme: "We are going to be hanging a lot of people like Fred the Shred from lampposts on April Fool's Day and I can only say let's hope they are just effigies."
IMO: I note that the Govt are suspending University academics who are protesting against corruption. I wish I could believe that this was due to a minor hiccup in the system. More likely it is due to massive corruption in the banking and parliamentary system. This can possibly still be rectified. But it seems a pity that general education standards in the UK have already been so corrupted by greed.
MP Michael Meacher - whose opinions have been sensible and largely uncontroversial in the past, and seem to be sensible now - thinks the city people should have to return their bonuses. City cocaine users, apparently such as some 'Spectator' staff, beg to disagree.
IMO: Some blogs, found for example by looking up "g20 meltdown" on blog search engines, do appear sensible and thought provoking, for example this URL. But we can only hope that the protests will lead to some positive results. Maybe it is time to 'suspend' some politicians whose methods are leading to educational standards in the UK at a standard suitable for chimpanzee, rather than academic staff..
