100 Academics

On that other forum, the current Bassa troll is claiming the "support of 100 academics," railing about Union busting.
Academics? Many young folk espouse Socialist ideals, then, as life experience grows, become more practical. The cloistered academic, with no real experience of life outside academe, does not mature in quite the same way.
One wonders how many of these Dons with unsaleable degrees will soon be be forced out into the real world for the first time in their lives?
The 100 Academic support letter appeared in the Guardian.
I seem to remember that at the time someone analysed the background of the "academics" and all were left wing and/or ex trade union or sponsored by trade unions.
A flawed cross section ???

BASSA spin again.....
