One of the many 'parcel of rogues in a nation', working against Scotland's best interests. Makes you wonder what they get for their services to the BritNat state.
I find this person to be a vile ,bitter auld woman , her constant belittling of her country and the ability for it to survive outwith the HAHAHA beneficence of our colonial masters makes me boak , TBQH I would have no hesitation once independent in assisting ms Stephenson and her fellow denigrators to flit to their utopian engerland
Prof Stevenson's comments reveal a staggering lack of awareness of the world around her. As a university contemporary of the Prof, I benefited from a full grant which paid more than the earnings of my female cousins, then graduated into a profession which offered career and security similar to that of Prof S and totally unavailable to the modern 'precariat'.
I could go on but confine my comments to the suggestion that, having grown up without any experience of hunger, I would regard having to miss out on food for a day as more reflective of present day deprivation than non possession of the latest smartphone. I regard Prof S's views as an embarrassment to my generation.
Reminds me of my tale of two professors. When sitting our final exams, my friend had an issue with one of the questions in his exam paper. After the exam, I went with him to speak to the professor. As we waited to speak to him, one of our professors, secretary to the senate at the time and a brilliant mind, lost his patience with a fellow professor. This fellow professor, although holding the Adam Smith chair at the time, had never seemed particularly brilliant to me. All his papers were endless, statistical dissections of other people's work with little or nothing other to say. In watching the impatient tirade unleashed upon him, as though he were an idiot schoolboy, I was reassured that a greater mind than mine saw through the charade.
Not all professors are great minds, some are simply competent bureaucrats. (And don't get me started on Niall Ferguson!)
Great piece. I think it's a bit of a bonus that you managed to upset 'History Woman'.... 👍
She is such a clown
