And that’s all he gets?! He’ll be out in 6 weeks max to carry on where he left off.

Mind you 6 weeks of prison showers may remind him of his time at public school (i.e. Communal - not referring to anything else or warning him not to drop the soap)

Bath University Vice-Chancellor, Dame Glynis Breakwell, earns £450k a year

According to Mrs C_S, who work in the University sector, and knows a fair bit about their finances, many VC’s will earn in the region of Ā£250k, before any any add-ons. I’ve even heard of one having home improvements paid for (albeit it was to a Uni owned property - a big one mind you)

It’s nothing new, and all already in the public domain (Ā£450k is a tad high though) just someone trawling it up again to get the public frothing at the mouth.

I left Bath Uni shortly after she was appointed VC. If you look at her official photos, she looks remarkably like she’s chewing a wasp:

That said, her research on the psychology of risk is good stuff and I currently use her book on the subject for some of my teaching.

How else are they going to pay for their gold-plated jacuzzis?

The VC at BU recently awarded himself a 16% pay rise to Ā£350k to ā€œbring his salary in line with other VCsā€, this when all of his staff get a 1% pay rise every year (apart from those on the executive!!).

Strange how they have managed to get these rises shortly after £9k tuition fees were introduced!!

Thing is @btripz the Govt had forced them to operate along private sector lines so there’s no reason to be surprised that they voted themselves big pay rises.

The question is, who do you blame for that, the VC’s or the Govt?

If I was a VC I’d probably feather my nest, and I suspect most people would.

The real issue is the fact the Govt got them in to that position in the first place.

Nope I would be too fuckin’ embarrassed to be that transparent to actually do that. Like most decent people would…and I think you would be too Cobs IRL.

For £450k a year it has to be fucking good book on the psychology of risk - possibly with film rights included.

Fair point @lifeintheslowlane , the embarrassment factor would kick in for most people, but to get to their position you have to have a certain mindset / thick skin. For them £450k is probably what they think they should be paid.

R Kelly accused of running some sort of cult. It all sounds rather grim.

There’s @goatboy feeling a little nervous about the accusations against Mr Kelly.

At least R Kelly lets them live.

Not THE Paul Taylor surely…?!

Have you seen or heard from any of his friends recently…actually does he have any friends?

Not if he’s going around stabbing them to death he won’t

This has made me furious. Some Canadian oik has touched our Queen. Touched her! How dare he - coming over here, touching our Queen. The scum should be shot.

So long as he didn’t touch The Crown Jewels with his Prince Albert.

To The Tower with him.
