Summary:Many inaugural enterprises depend on the shared confidence that others involved in them know why they are there and what they are doing, even if you don't. It often turns out that everyone was assuming all along everybody had access to a script. My own arrival on the scene of the London Consortium followed in this tradition. It is perhaps apt that a programme that seemed so perversely inclined to spring to the defence of prematurely lost causes should itself now risk being lost to view, but no less melancholy for that. Those who presided over what was represented as the temporary suspension of the Consortium following the period of terminal riot, ruction and recrimination in 2012 promised that the students would be supported through to their graduation (they were) and that the website would be kept accessible (it was not). No new students have been enrolled since that date, and the suspension has become permanent.
