The UK is literally winding down one of its few world-leading sectors for no reason whatsoever.
The Department for Education has confirmed that universities will receive £50.9 million less in teaching grants next academic year. Bridget Phillipson, the education minister has defended the reduction in light of tuition fee rises. [link in comments]

I'd really like to know when the @Tate plans to put the Resurrection, Cookham by Stanley Spencer back on public display? One of the standout pieces of 20th century British art and it's been out of view for what feels like ages This came after they put up an explanatory plaque accusing Spencer of “reinforcing racist stereotypes and divisions” in the painting. If they are, as it seems, sitting on Spencer's masterpiece because they are ashamed of it, then the Resurrection should be displayed by people who aren't embarrassed. The Stanley Spencer gallery in Cookham would have no such qualms! Sorry, it's too important a painting to shove in a basement because your trustees are pussies

Future historians are going to be puzzled about how Britain, in the face of terminal decline - economy decaying, infrastructure crumbling - had a political & media class who spent its time on talking bins and trivial nonsense, all while utterly ignoring the impending crisis

Yet thou more bright than all the angel blaze, That harbingered thy birth, Thou, Man of Woes! Despised Galilean! For the great Invisible (by symbols only seen) With peculiar and surpassing light Shines from the visage of the oppressed good man… Samuel Taylor Coleridge, ‘Religious Musings’, 1794.
