.. well.. that seems to emphasise just how divorced from reality student politics still are...

Nothing seems to have changed much since I was a mature student back in the 1980s....

Nor my opinion that young relatively well off middle class students who adopt a fashionable leftist political identity
and later end up as careerist Labour party MPs and admin employees, or 'leftist' academics
have anything but a theoretical book learned concept of what the core values of Labour policies really mean,
and what families like mine experienced in factories and council estates.

.. and no, a gap year slumming with the chavs & oiks doesn't really count... 😜

Of course, students struggling to cope with tuition fees, and juggling studies with long hours of minimum wage part time jobs
deserve full consideration and respect...
