More on the story of that bit of lint at Southampton.....she has had a very privileged upbringing and she is taking a year out of her studies to be President of the Students Union.....and get this.....being paid £20,000.

As for poppies being banned by the Students Union in Cambridge....these are supposed to be people who are intelligent....they are supposed to be able to formulate ideas and ideals of their own, they are supposed to be capable of thought and critical analysis, yet they act like a mindless herd.
It does not give me any great hope for the future of this country.

Cashy, gone are the days when it as only the top knobs that got into the prestigious Universities....now it boils down to whether you can pay.
These seats of learning are now commercial businesses....yes of course you DO have to get the right exam results as well, but with money....anything is possible (as the Philip Green debacle goes to show)
