Her views on the subject of slavery are going to be?
The French government therefore does not need to invent a model from scratch. There are examples to draw upon. The Caribbean nations’ 10-point plan for reparatory justice offers a practical framework, combining historical acknowledgment with measures addressing public health, education, economic development and psychological rehabilitation.
Open your wallet, Frogs!
We are so surprised, eh?
These two amuse:
They remain visible in contaminated land, unequal economies
Lots of economies are unequal unrelated to slavery or not slavery. Therefore the inequality may not be anything to do with the slavery.
And:
Consumers in the overseas territories routinely pay substantially more for basic goods than in mainland France, despite lower average incomes.
Small populations on islands without much local production face higher living costs, do they? My word that is just such a surprise.
“Small populations on islands without much local production face higher living costs, do they? My word that is just such a surprise.”
That’s what people go to university to learn!
Obviously missing from the “pro vice-chancellor’s” courses.
“associate” PVC. Translates as tea-lady.
Once you wake up to how it’s being used against you, the ace thing about sectarianism and balkanisation is its predictive quality. Not just ‘guess what she’s going to say’ but ‘guess what she looks like’.
Ngr on the make, you mean? That, or “progressive woman’ stereotype.
Both!

Ooga-Booga Gibs Money Innit
Can Higher Education be Decolonised
By getting rid of people like her who have been colonising higher education?
The French already do quite a lot of spending on these places, quite a lot of job creation. They used to subsidise air travel between Martinique and the rest of France. I once looked into it. Fly to Paris then off to Martinique. The Thomas Crown Affair is one of my favourite films and they made it look idyllic.
In which case I suggest you watch Bandi on Netflix, for a sharp course correction.
Just another third-worldist race grifter with their hands out for gibs.
Wtf is an “associate pro vice-chancellor” when it’s at home?
Is it like a VP in a big American corporation where everyone is a VP so they don’t have to give out pay rises?
It might be more pay, not sure.
But it will definitely be reduced teaching hours for her.
Fortunately for her students.
It should be a “pro-vice chancellor”.
She’s probably anti-vice. At least any of the fun sorts.
No, not in the UK at least. Here, it’s Pro Vice-Chancellor.
UK university hierarchies:-
Vice-Chancellor (VC): The CEO of the university.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (DVC): The deputy to the VC, overseeing broad operations.
Pro Vice-Chancellor (PVC): Senior executives responsible for a faculty or a major portfolio.
Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor (APVC): Leaders supporting specific segments of the PVC’s strategy.
Time to cleanse the Augean Stables of academe!
It’s partly how they keep their “academic staff” numbers up, for the league tables. Instead of hiring administrators, they make 5th rate academics administrators with academic titles.
Thanks.
The students paying £9,790 a year to Bristol University must be delighted to know where their money is going.
Unfortunately that’s probably true of many of them.
Consumers in the overseas territories routinely pay substantially more for basic goods
That’s just a basic fact. Prices you pay will be relative to the efficiency of the logistic chain. In France the retailer will likely be the fourth link between the overseas producer & the customer. On the islands you’re probably imposing another three or four low efficiency links. All cost money.
I’d say there’s a difference in pricing of basics between France/UK & Spain. Spain’s usually a bit dearer. UK & particularly France the logistics are more efficient. Spain still lags a bit. Efficiency isn’t really a Spanish thing.
Prices you pay will be relative to the efficiency of the logistic chain.
That affects cost. Pricing and cost are not the same.
True but cost is a determinant on price. Rice is a lot dearer in small town Colombia than it is here. The base price of rice is determined by world markets. At the consumer end, there’s plenty of price competition between retailers. There’s not much variation in price. But Colombia’s logistics chains are a mess. There’s probably half a dozen more links producer>consumer than there are here. Each one adding to cost.
Pricing and cost are not the same.
Sure, but if you want to stay in business, cost is a major determinant of pricing
Non sequitur.
French overseas territories get quite a few tax breaks. VAT at 8.5% v 20% in metropolitan France, for instance.
There’s a whole industry arranging millionaires’ affairs to reduce tax by “investing” in Martinique.
Is she wearing sunglasses, or are those her nostrils
*Applause*
Her nostrils are not as large as Lammy’s. He looks like a pure-bred; she looks like a quadroon…
