.. errmm..

Ok full disclosure..

I'll confess I'd mentally blocked
the few years I spent as a postgrad ideology student, with a completely shaved head
except for a warrior top knot like Taras Bulba..

Those were my lost years as an ineffectual very loony laughing-stock textbook lefty...!!!

Lessons were painfully learnt...
.. and feet eventually placed very firmly back on the ground...

Remembering my roots..
I'm the son of a council estate factory trades unionist, and care home cleaner..
I'll leave the fancy dress protest charades to more comfortably well-off and socially connected 'progressives'...
