I am afraid that this feckless fool has been encouraged and supported by universities.

I believe you know my views on these seething hotbeds of Marxists and overaged schoolchildren, b. Come the New Regime I shall have each and every one razed to the ground, their books burnt and their 'teachers' executed.

Only in this way can we hope to rebuild our citizenry's diluted blood and strength. The English Folk must be hard and pure!

I thought your universities, or at least some of them, were a source of some national pride, global envy some may suggest (not I).

Personally I have never held a lot of faith in third level education. For some a worthy experience and one that society benefits from however for the vast majority simply an excuse to do **** all for 3-4 years.

I would shut down all poncey 'arts' subjects -such as the appaling-named social 'sciences' plus stuff like history and literature which people can study for a hobby if they're interested, and focus on science, technology, business and languages.

Better include "languages" in your hitlist too, imo. Unless you want wine waiters and opera critics to be university-educated too.

I haven't worked out what this means yet, but we already have university-educated wine waiters, I believe.

But it's not compulsory. Yet.

So far, you just need to be a drunkard, so far as I can judge.

There is a time for a chap to go to school; let's say between 10 and 16. During this period he may be taught the basic, essential skills: reading, writing, Latin and the preferable vintage years for clarets and Burgundies.

Now our young man is fully equipped for a life of toil and service to his family and comrades in arms.

The roads you walk and drive on were designed by engineers who went to university, SW. As were the buildings you work in. Not to mention the doctors who make you well. All of society benefits when young people educate themselves, this is a fact.

People with university degrees pay the overwhelming majority of tax, commit far less crime and generally are the foundations upon which any civilized society is built.

This is the sort of thing they shít forth.

Yes, but it's hardly fair to tar every university grad with the same Owen brush. Plus, the university I attended back in the day routinely discriminated against people like that. Mostly by beating them up.

Nepotism works just as well too though. And it's cheaper.
