Migrating University Goldsmiths to Gatwick

11-09-2007 21:40

General enthusiasm for this event is very high. A feeling of frustration, and therefore energy for exploring activist options, is strong on campus. This is the joint result of the ongoing managerialism that afflicts the ‘teaching factory’ at all levels, alongside the wider malaise of neo-liberal war-mongering imperialism/Border-ism evident in the current conjuncture, everywhere. The role of the university in relation to borders between people and knowledge, between different knowledges, between peoples, between students, between students who pay ‘overseas’ fees and those who pay too much (‘training’ for industrial gain, paid for by the student??) and the ever extended morale crush that afflicts staff… linked to the obsolescence of older ideas of ‘education’ in favour of opportunism and productivity… Exclusions and …racism, murder-death-kill… there is much good reason to explore these concerns in our workshop.

Olympic Budget scandal is minute compared to Crossrail

11-09-2007 15:45

The City backed Crossrail scheme which is reported in the corporate press and by Government department's as costing £10-15 billion will in fact cost more than £30 billion and taxpayers will also be expected to underwrite the scheme, service the debt interest and Mr Livingstone has also kindly offered to raise fares so the poorest people of London and commuters can subsidise a rail scheme that will primarily benefit the City and Canary Wharf - yes you guessed it the richest part of London. Write down the names of any MPs who say Crossrail is a good idea. Name and shame is about to arrive in Westminster.

Detention Profiteers

11-09-2007 12:24

The UK has Europe's most privatised criminal justice system. It is second only to the United States in terms of the number of private prisons, which currently hold around 10% of the prisoner population. In addition to private prisons, the country has privately operated 'secure training centres' for young offenders, prisoner escort services, electronic monitoring programmes, a wide range of non-custodial services in publicly run prisons, as well as privately financed, built and operated court complexes, police complexes and probation hostels. In short, the UK currently represents the second-largest private prison market in the world. And immigration prisons are no exception.. except that they are not called prisons any more.
