    My dear fellow. The laddie is an undergraduate at Girton College, Cambridge. That bunch of johnny-come-latelies won't even rusticate the dismal chap. It is no surprise to me that the education there is negligent. Practically a polytechnic, don't you know.

    Ah, yes, Oxford. A fine modern institution of higher education. Located conveniently close to where many French gentlemen found a living in this period, it allowed for the less talented sons to receive a nominal education close to home, without the hassle of having to travel to Paris.

    It seems he dropped a microdot or a blotter (very apt, given who his step-dad is) and was flying with the gods. Ala Robert Wyatt.

    I, on the other hand, have no excuse for my iggorince.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
