In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 I don't know if I dare to ask you for some anonymous anecdotes?
British academia is for me caught between the two poles of the sinister crimes of say an Inspector Morse episode, and on the other hand, as being populated by descendants of Tolkien, grand fatherly figures spending all day writing great stuff about hobbits. ;)

Ha ha, so, so many.... the headline is (for me) that many (but by no means all of course) academics are selfishly interested only in organising their lives to suit themselves, which is not necessarily that unusual, but are unbelievably 'talented' at presenting what is only good for them as if it was actually for the general good - in other words they intellectualise self-centredness as social responsibility.... and to me it always looked like hypocrisy!
