Cambridge liberal rant

On the subject of David Gilmour's son's prison sentence an anguished response from Cambridge academics.

Oh, pulease, stop before I fvcking cry. The Cambridge liberal-ati are wailing again.

No surprise this hand-wringing bilge was sent to the Grauniad.

“Last autumn, our students protested against the assault on universities and we believe they were right to do so. We must hope such worrying travesties of natural justice do not deter people of conscience from speaking up in these difficult times.”

Ok, let's just stop there. This "assault" on our universities? Explain WTF I should fund useless, thick tw@s to "study" pointless degrees simply to enable them to live off benefits whilst saddled with £30k of debts?

Is it possible, just possible, that if you open up tertiary education to every Tom, Dick or Harriet that the pot of gold will not spread round very far? And that either you restrict degree level education to those most academically suited to it, or you require those benefiting from that education to pay for it? Or do they really mean that we should ever expand their particular corner of the public sector and the dear old taxpayers pick up the ever rising bill?

Or perhaps they mean that with a £150bn public spending deficit their cherished empires should be immune from savings?

Oh yes, "speaking up". Let's see what Mr Gilmour had to say on this particular protest:

“Let them eat cake, let them eat cake, they say. We won’t eat cake, we will eat fire, ice and destruction, because we are angry, very f------ angry.” And also “storm Parliament” and “arson”.

Well there's a coherent and logical argument against education spending cuts from a priviliged Cambridge undergraduate.

I might have had a bit more sympathy if a bunch of middle-aged, middle class, sopping liberal academics had stormed the gates of Parliament to protect their budget when all around people are losing their jobs because of Brown's financial catastrophe. Instead, we get some pathetic bleating from deep inside an ivory tower, dressed up as solidarity for a pathetic criminal.

There are times when one truly fanatises about beating this people with an LAPD nightstick in time with the mantra "The-world-does-not-owe-you-a-fvcking-living".

Right, time for my medication.

Which illicted this rant from The Rev :

I'd have sent the little tvrd dahn for a ten stretch. I am FVCKING FED UP with champagne fvcking socialists. In fact, the only people remaining in this benighted cvntry who have left-wing views are people who have been to bleedin' public school, pointless academics, and the kind of public-sector leech that ought to be doing a proper job. Even the latter are only in it for the fat pension, and like their fellow-traveller dole-scroungers, will sell their allegience to whoever will let them sponge of the bloated teat of the state the longest. Look at that monstrous cvnt Ed "couldn't be more public school if someone stuffed a hot crumpet between his cheeks" Milliband. I mean FVCKING H3LL. At least in the old days there were crusty old miners and people who could claim to be working class going on about nationalisation and Marx and the like. I blame Tony Benn, the tw@, although even he manages to look like an elder statesman these days, compared to all the limp-wristed fvckwits and tvrdwipes mincing around Westminster pretending to be radical but actually just being AR53H0LES.
