Fat Man on a Keyboard

Gone

Now is the time for celebration
Egypt's struggle of endurance is not a conflict of visions, it is the conflict between a vision of freedom and a blind clinging to power that uses all means possible – terror, lack of food, simple tiredness, bribery with raised salaries – to squash the will to freedom.
Though the next steps are far from clear, it will be hard to resist the momentum. A great day whatever.

About Me

My Photo
The Plump
This is the work avoidance strategy and ego trip of Peter Ryley, who has just retired, despite being far too young, from working in lifelong learning, latterly at the University of Hull. Now, I live and teach part-time in Manchester, spend as much time as possible in Pelion, Greece, continue to research and write on the history of Anarchism, and have frequent rants about the importance and current parlous state of adult education.
