Writing a new article on and . It's been too long but great to 'take on board' so many new articles, etc, with compelling evidence of disadvantage and discrimination ... it leaves me wondering why class is not a protected status.....

So, you spend hours/days of your 'free' time writing an article only to sign away the rights. Brilliant. Then, pay just to speak about that work for 15 minutes at a conference. Life in , you can't make it up!
