Just FYI the big irony of the Adam Smith Institute's study is that it is nowhere near rigorous enough to pass muster in the average university. Also its proposed methods for dealing with it are just illegal. Anecdotally yeah university lecturers tend not to be rightwing, but maybe that's a reflection more of what's happened to the right since the 70s than a concerted attempt to kill off wrongthink. In English departments for example, which is where I have experience, if you're a conservative you just tend to do traditional (supposedly 'neutral') stuff and not touch theory, because it doesn't interest you. there were and continue to be some bitter spats over it, but I think most of the people teaching in the university are not rabid enough anymore to want to gang up over all that, despite recent political developments. I got taught by people interested in classics and Shakespeare, aka the important stuff, who were definitely not into feminism and gay rights and such. To say I didn't have my views challenged is absurdly wrong, even in York, where the department has a left-wing reputation. The absence of rightwing 'theory' being taught is more that there was no impetus on their part to offer up, say, alternative theories of gender and how it affects how we read. Instead they said, bluntly, gender doesn't matter that much. Make of that what you will, you could call it anti-intellectual even.

IMHO Corbyn is bad at media strategy because he doesn't appeal to my unassailable gut instincts of what media strategy would be best. Also I don't like him anyway. Yes my opinion is really valuable at this point in time

It is an example of how England treats foreigners.

Something quite weird and ghoulish in presenting the wide range of nationalities represented among the victims of an atrocity as a positive of that atrocity imho, the lives of foreigners being only worthy of our attention by being smashed into by a car, and even then their existence here is thanks to the benevolent virtue of our beloved English capital

I should have joined a union when I was a student so I wouldn't have got shafted by my boss who rightly saw students as people who wouldn't complain.
