Saw them when the third album came out and they were superb, still quite raw sounding. Then again 2 years ago and it was good but a lot more polished

It is pushing the rules to the limit. So technically keeping in the rules but recruiting students purely for the money, not their academic credentials

David Ealey @ealeyd.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Disagree. The appalling factor of the vastly overpaid sector leadership is the prime reason why universities are so unloved

David Ealey @ealeyd.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

But that was my original point, what is happening now is a consequence of those abuses by a small number. The reason the sector is in such a mess is the behavior of a small few

Taking advantage of loopholes in the rules to recruit people not suited or qualified to do the course. If you have a 30% drop out rate it says something
