And knowing twice as much about what, btw? Media studies? Or how to get by on a low income and a life of low opportunity.

With Toniblairites, who needs Tories, eh?

His mistake was suggesting 'education' ( ) as a sensible way of choosing who gets to vote.

Thousands of students voted for Corbyn, some several times. This shows us the effect of 'education' on vulnerable young minds.

Voting, as any fule no, was invented by God in order that gentlemen of property might choose who amongst them should make laws to govern the common herd.

The democratisation of democracy was a crass error.
