Once again, if you edit a journal, think of it as a sacred responsibility of sorts and stop being horrible to ECRs.
A tip: invest in a punching bag if you’re frustrated about your own life and don’t take it out on others.

This is why people don’t trust the UN system. Failure cannot be rewarded in this way, and especially for a person who am has repeatedly shown their commitments to global radicalised power hierarchies. Are African lives so irrelevant? This should not have been offered or accepted.

This is wrong. I mean cancellation is right but using what is effectively predicted grades, a classed and racialised practice will disadvantage students unnecessarily. I mean the research is there, do some reading!
The Government has published more information on the cancellation of GCSEs and A-Levels which says exam boards will ask teachers to submit judgments about grades they think their students would have received if exams had gone ahead
