"I tend to be a bit more cynical about this. I think universities have mainly become jobs programs for leftists. It's a nice scam, really. Create a bunch of useless programs such as Hyphenated-American Studies or Gender Studies (anything, really, that ends in Studies) and enroll a bunch of people who really shouldn't be in a university to begin with to matriculate in these programs. Fund the salaries of the "professors" in these useless programs by providing taxpayer-backed loans to students who would be better off acquiring a real skill in a vocational institution. Hire a bunch of administrators to help the newly-enrolled students to cope with their foreseeable inability to make it through their studies. And then, when it all goes pear-shaped for the students, come up with a debt forgiveness program so that the poor dears don't have to suffer the consequences of their decisions.
Follow the money, as they say. Productive members of society pay taxes that go toward useless jobs provided to leftists who then give money to leftist political parties that promise to make sure that the gravy train keeps rolling along. The students are incidental to the process. They are as useless to the university staffs as the K-10 students are to the teachers' unions."
You have in fact just described pretty much the entirety of the public sector.

"...an entire population carb-loading, which is likely far more responsible for any increase in obesity as meat-eating."
This was after the government told us saturated animal fats were the biggest issue.
Now we have a serious issue with NOx pollution after the government made car manufacturers focus on bullshit CO2 emissions.
Anyone see a pattern here? Anyone see why we should tell Kerry McCarthy and the rest of her ignorant shitkicking ilk to fuck right off just on general principles?
Temptations of the Flesh
Here’s a thing: Meat should be treated like tobacco with a public campaign to stop people eating it, Jeremy Corbyn’s new vegan shadow farming minister has suggested. Kerry McCarthy… admitted she was a “militant” when it came to clamping down on meat consumption. She said: “I really believe that...

re: jabrwok
That's a magnificent rant. I love the idea of Charging race hustlers like Cornell West and Al Sharpton licensing fees on the outputs of "white privilege"

I saw Mad Max FR last night. Two observations:
1) The feminist meme is as subtle as a brick to the head.
2) After an hour its gets really boring
I was seriously not impressed. Had I not ponied up £20 for an IMAX seat, I would have left early.
