It is with deep sadness that Dr Marianne Moen and I resigned our positions as Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Archaeology this morning. What follows is the letter we sent to the EAA's executive board, outlining the reasons for our resignation 1/n

The EAA votes are out The great majority of our archaeological community has voted in favour of the petitions raised by #concernedEAA. We asked for a democratic process, we asked for accountability, and for the need to acknowledge the horrific genocidal policy of Israel against Gaza.

As someone who is about to be affected by the new ILR rules, I took little comfort from the PM's speech yesterday. I can't speak for everyone affected but I certainly feel the message of these rules is that no one from other countries is welcome here and will only be accepted begrudgingly

Is there no-one in Labour who knows an immigrant (or emigrant)? The existing rules are terrible, these plans are just horrendous. Is there no-one close to the leadership who thinks immigrants having to pay taxes + NHS surcharge + fees + no access to any benefits is already outrageous?

Det var flaut å se Espen Aas som London-korrespondent, veldig overfladisk og "dette leste jeg i avisa" framfor kunnskap, funfacts-basert anglofil, så det overrasker meg ikke at det mangler kritisk tenkning om Kirk etc nå. Var akkurat det samme med Boris, Corbyn, Brexit etc.
