Don't blame me, blame Leicester University.
Appear to be engaging in cancel culture.

It also appears to be those pesky lefties they're cancelling, however.
They're being sacked under the auspices of being 'made redundant'. This would not happen if they had a different research agenda, and a different political drive to their research.
Not really. Various practices you can use to get rid of people you want to legally, and this is one of them - flimsy justifications as to why it's 'redundant' and then hire somebody else a bit later.
Great. Two or three months' salary in some cases and no job. Sure they'll be stoked.
Many ways you can remove people you don't want there, legally. The old classic that happened at one local authority, was to make their posts redundant, then mix up the job descriptions and ask people to re-apply for the 'new' posts... except this time at the bottom of the pay grade or, in some cases, at a lower pay grade with a different job title.
Yeah, that's utter madness - it's not political to tell the full story and, let's face it, rich people usually don't get rich by being nice to everybody! None of us can help what people before us did, but just say it as part of what happened!
Yes, it is completely different. A person gets sacked, a role is made redundant
It really isn't
Beware poststructuralism eh - don't want any of this Derrida shit around here!
I thought Gareth Brown's 'Rationale for sacking' was going to read: "Far too much unauthorised absence spent touring in a ZZ Top tribute act".
You can’t speak out about the so called cancel culture and promote the cancellation of our history at the same time. It’s hypocrisy of the highest order and the warnings of such behaviour are still raw and in living memory.
So you keep saying. Ironic.
You're a hysterical girls blouse Tony. North Korea for goodness sake. Maybe log off for a week and get some air.
Exactly. The self proclaimed “common sense group” of Conservative MP’s want to shut down talk of anything from our history of slavery to the climate crisis while at the same time bemoaning the so called cancel culture. It’s pure duality.
I would read up on the history of North Korea if I was you. You might find a lot of events that have happened there over the last century alarmingly familiar to what’s happening here in the last decade.
No I wouldn't because I'm not a lunatic who has completely lost grip of reality.
