The sheer pomposity of these people is hilarious.

What a shame that Monty Python is no more 🤣

Hines is not helping to disabuse my general supposition that every university social ‘science’ department should be closed down.

I imagine that there is still some valid research done in this field that would stand the test of intellectual credibility and usefulness but it is drowned out by the phalanx of grifting charlatans such as Hines.

Let’s have a year zero approach. Remove all taxpayer funding from the lot and start again with a small budget and rigorous approval of applications for new projects.

They've definitely turned intellectual disability into an opportunity.

Can a FOI request reveal the names of those who spent our money, or the bond market's money, on research on pregnant men?

Then contact Badenoch and ask her as leader of the party in power at the time to apologise, and cooperate with Reform to go after them.

Linehan may be angry, but everyone should be.

Thank god people are finally paying attention to the slop that passes for scholarship.

That's all very well, but look at the negligible number of people following these posts.

Gotta start somewhere.

That is funny, so you are getting noticed for exposing these fraudsters. Hopefully the gravy train will soon come to end, and the public money can be used for it's intended purpose. I've known talented people who struggled to get any funding for their research projects, which can end their University academic careers. Some of these people have skills which are difficult to replace, but they are just not good at writing funding applications using the latest buzz words.
