THE LAST DITCH
When I was a student politician, there was a Trot on the NUS executive who screwed up the papers after each conference session and threw them on the floor with the words "more jobs". He was from some rubbish polytechnic. What's the excuse of our Oxbridge-educated elite for thinking the same stupid thought?
