It may not have been you who created the poster, but it is you, a paid employee of the University, who is advertising it on your blog.
I am just concerned in the context of what Benjamin said yesterday - he has already been threatened with legal action for speaking out. I had no idea things had gotten quite that bad, but I would have thought that as a student there is limited action management could take against him, for you however it is an entirely different matter.
I am just playing devils advocate here, and would by no means wish to challenge your right to free speech. I have a lot of personal experience of office politics and have found out about the consequences of speaking out the hard way, which means I am now more circumspect when it comes to such things. Maybe I am being overly cautious, that is for you to decide, I just don't want you to find out about such things the hard way, that's all!
Subversive and satirical - both attributes of a free-thinking democracy, and guess what? That's how dictatorships are challenged and that's how creative ideas emerge. So why is there no sign of these posters around the university?
Very amusing Vole, and all very accurate I'm sure, but be careful, the Hegemon may be watching you!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't me. Though I heartily endorse the sentiments expressed.
