No tickets on yourself then?
Still on the public teat though.
And not a hint of political comment.

There is a difference between left wing ‘altruism’ at uni (which I agree with), vs ‘extreme’ left (and right) wing ‘lets crash the system down around everyone’s ears’, which doesn’t do anybody any good in the short or long term.

I'm an old Radical, although, not a Free Radical.

We used to catch up for lunch and he would tell me about his latest adventure in his classes. Lots of 'interesting' discussions were had in tutorials, and at the end of his first semester, the lecturer thanked him profusely for sticking with it as her classes were becoming a close minded echo chamber. If you want, PM me and I will tell you what uni I went to, and then the penny will drop!

I was a bit like that - there weren't many males doing my degree ...
