Impossible to contact @IKEAUK or @IKEAUKSupport about a misdelivery. They don't make it easy and now the phone line's down. What's going on?

I do not believe this is essentially about antisemitism
I believe it is principally about POWER for the neoliberal elite in the UK, for Israel over the Palestinians, for West in Middle East
I am Jewish and I am sick to my heart at the abuse of the serious issue of antisemitism

The Senior Management Team of the University of Roehampton have been ignoring UCU proposals for other cost-saving measures, they have been ignoring academic staff...Hopefully they will listen to our wonderful students! #SaveUoRAH @ucu @DrJoGrady #RoeSSAH

Roehamptonβs Dance Department is world renowned, so why are Senior Management looking to reduce staff numbers from 17 to 7!!?

#SaveUoRAH appalled and depressed by U of Roehampton's proposed massive cuts to arts and humanities. Why are they always the sacrificial lambs when they are the fountainhead of the creative industries which are the great success story of UK?
