Always use the mic! Even if you are Brian Blessed, you need to use the mic. The microphone will support the hearing loop - it doesn't matter how loud your voice is or how admirable your projection, it needs to be picked up by the hearing loop for anyone using a hearing aid. 1/

I think we can do wildlife and iconic British at the same time: City pigeon eating a dropped sandwich on £5. Herring Gull stealing chips on £10. Urban Fox going through a bin on £20. Mute swan breaking a man’s arm on the £50.

So much will be said about all this in the coming days, but IMO the biggest takeaway is that James Watt and Martin Dickie each pocketed more than the price BrewDog was eventually sold for, while 500 hardworking staff are now out of a job & 220k equity punks don't get a dime. Absolute charlatans.

How the private equity industry views education is really alien to how educators see it. Yet these investors probably have a bigger say in how the future of education will unfold. First, education is a *market* worth $trillions *in the future* making it a good speculative bet for investment...
