Considering how much schooling they have lost in the last year, I wonder how many students who thought it was cool to bunk off on Fridays and attend climate change protests, proudly proclaiming that they could easily make up what they were missing, now think it was such a good idea.

Much of the inexorable change of permitted terms for long-held subjects is coming from university in-house pressure groups.

Not necessarily the elders and profs, but the newer generations of students and their ‘leaders’. The huge influx of students, usually on the more anti-everything cruise, in recent years has opened the door for the protestors to gain a captured audience. Those that object, get cancelled.

Then, because there is now a huge financial advantage in attracting even more susceptible minds, the faculties fall in line on the grounds of pseudo intellectual expansion. What a load of gobbledegook, it’s now about money so anything goes.

We were in Ikea a couple of weeks ago in Milton Keynes, it was quite busy and there was a lot of people talking to each other, my Wife and I were the only two people speaking English out of more than a dozen people in earshot. I know when I have driven in some parts of the country it is noticeable that there is a higher than I am used too ethnic majority but I am starting to feel like I am not living in England.

I have never considered myself racist in any form but when I feel like the minority in my own country it does make you think.

I've noticed that too. Advertisers are terrified of a Facebook frenzy or Twitter tirade, plus threats of a product boycott, if their ads only contain white faces.

It too makes me feel like a member of an ethnic minority, even though I live in an area with only a tiny percentage of non white residents.

Noticed that too in the sports bulletins on their news channel. I don't subscribe to Sky, though I do confess to streaming their cricket coverage, which I am doing as I type this. .

Considering that Sky Sports has been hijacked by the black lives matter rabble, I wouldn't have a subscription to it given.

They then launched a blistering attack on older voters, accusing them of not caring for todays youth, in effect saying that the elder generations futures were behind them, but conveniently ignoring the fact that about 80% of the over 65's took the trouble to vote, while only about a third of the 18-25 age group could be bothered to drag themselves away from social media, get off their fat backsides and turn up at the polling stations. I think its fair to assume that this low turnout figure was, in truth, because they couldn't vote on their phones.

Wow, I wonder what they think of the 20's generation. Yeah, those oldies that went through the depression years as kids, fought in WW2 as teenagers and re-built the countries infrastructure whilst being rationed.

Student exchange? Hardly in the same league is it?

Don't forget that it was permissible to have a Golliwog doll and collect the paper type one's from Robertson's jam! I fear I'll be long gone before what we consider allowable is allowed again!
