Hi Chaps
There is a fundamental flaw in this article because most of it is non-specific. You can replace the word British with European and it still plays out the same. The article does not say anything. Its like one of those essay writing programmes that string together a series of verbs and nouns etc which relate to any subject which appears to have meaning but is in fact just grammatically correct nonsense. To then wedge this in to comparing cultural identity with the HE profession is just a really cheap shot and the last paragraph reads like the wind up to an after dinner speech at a self-congratulatory back slapping awards ceremony.
Sorry if this seems a little harsh but if Kennethâs going to proclaim on âself centred individualsâ etc then heâd better get a properly thought through reason first.
