"I know the reasonably well-founded gripe in Norwegian universities is that they have been Americanised. They are not academic anymore. Rather they are educational institutions optimised -- not for profit like in the US, given that they are public, but -- for maximum throughput. Get the most students their business-friendly education fastest with the least amount of fuss."
I'm sure you don't make things up, so where did you get this information from, King Fortinbras of Norway.

"‘Brexit’ Must Face a Parliamentary Vote, U.K. Court Rules"
"LONDON — The British government must consult Parliament before proceeding with formal negotiations over its withdrawal from the European Union, the High Court ruled on Thursday, a move that is likely to aggravate the political uncertainty surrounding the country’s exit from the bloc.

The decision is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, and it might ultimately be referred to the European Court of Justice, an institution opposed by those who argued for Britain to leave the bloc."

DnD Central / Re: NATO nonsense
Yet the President of France said publicly that there is no problem with Putin or Russia re France.
"Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin cancelled his planned trip to Paris after President Francois Hollande questioned the usefulness of a meeting with the Russian leader, citing the situation in Aleppo. However, according to Expert magazine contributor Igor Gashkov, Russia's the one with the grievance – and the reason is simple.

Hollande's demarche consisted of refusing to attend the opening of a church and Russian cultural center in the French capital, which President Putin was set to attend. According to Igor Gashkov, Elysee Palace effectively intended to turn the visit into a demonstration – a sign "that Paris does not feel solidarity with Moscow on any issue," not even culture."
