Are We Being Ruled By A 1980S Left-Wing Student Elite ?

[Khandro]

We are now governed by people who were left-wing students in the 1980s and early 90s. This is one of those facts that you try to forget, like getting older in general, but which – occasionally, suddenly – hits you in the mush. It’s fine in the normal run of things but every so often I remember that these left-wing students are in power and I get a rush of panic and horror, and emit an (internal) scream.

Should I worry, or am I being paranoid ?

Fair assesment, they presumably admired the socialism of the 60s and 70s and year for those days. Well they are well on the way. I feel sorry for the poor saps that voted for "change" etc without realising they were voting in the first real labour government for half a century. Oh dear, repent at leisure.

Better that than a set of self-seeking buddies from the same class at Eton.

Again with the 'probably' stuff.

Well said Canary.

This Labour government bears as much resemblance to socialism, as Jacob's Creek does to a premier cru Claret
