@OwenJones84 is a shameless hypocrite and a knave

I'm sure that it will come as absolutely NO surprise that I disagree with Owen Jones on matters political. But his latest heap of festering faeces unequivocally demonstrates the destructive nature of his argument.

What do I mean about abolishing the Oxbridge system? I don’t mean bulldozing the universities – and their beautiful quads – into rubble. There is an argument about transforming the universities into purely postgraduate institutions, and I am sympathetic to that.

But, to begin with, I would dispense with the interview system, which is biased towards the more articulate – and the more articulate are those who tend to be more middle-class and have benefited from “cultural capital” passed on from their parents. They are not, necessarily, automatically brighter than those who have benefited from far fewer resources.

Then I would completely overhaul the admissions system. George Monbiot suggests offering a place to the top one or two every school in the country. That’s a good start to the debate. I remember one privately educated fellow Oxford student (who had been rejected the first time he applied) suggesting that comprehensive school students like myself only got in because of quotas. In actual fact research has shown that students from comprehensives do better at Oxford than those from public schools. More widely, research has shown state students do better at university than those who were privately educated.

But, as well as redressing the balance with the types of schools, admissions needs to take account of class. The top percentage of those who were once eligible for Educational Maintenance Allowance or on free school meals should be offered automatic admissions, for a start.

It’s not just Oxford and Cambridge this should apply to: all the top Russell Group universities should be made to follow suit.

Above all, Oxford and Cambridge should be normalised as universities. The best tutors should be encouraged to disperse across the university system – perhaps with incentives. It is right to have a top tier of universities catering to the brightest students – particularly when they are forced to reflect society as a whole, rather than the brightest rich kids: and that is the model that should be promoted.

But Oxford and Cambridge should no longer be regarded as the nation’s top universities. It’s time to leave the Oxbridge era behind us.

I can see lefties nodding their heads like Churchill the insurance dog at these wise words. But you're ALL entirely wrong.

If you want to know why you're wrong, let me ask some simple questions: given the unlimited financial muscle of the state (with our money), the fact that comprehensive teachers are heavily unionized and largely toe the left's line and given that we had 13 years of Labour paradise with Gordon Brown pissing our money away at the left's tropes du jour:

• why the fuck ARE public schools still so much better?
• why DO the top teachers and top tutors flock to public schools and Russell Group universities?
• why does Oxbridge retain any cachet?

And more importantly, why does someone who would have been a complete and utter non-entity but for his Oxbridge education want to deny other people the same thing?

At no point in his tedious, right-on cockwaffle does the dreadful scumbag attack the heavily unionized teaching profession and the overwrought polytechnics for not getting better so that public schools don't have an advantage or raising the standard of "David Beckham Studies" to compete with a PPE.

It's all about destroying the great to make everyone a nice anodyne shade of beige, with a smug side helping of "I'm alright, Jack, I've been and got all the perks, but heaven forbid anyone else should get a look in."

Unlike Owen Jones, I don't have the advantage of an Oxbridge education. But I don't begrudge anyone else the right to it.

If I was going to bitch about education, I'd be asking why the people who absolutely love sucking Owen's cock are not asking why state education should not be made better, rather than why public school and Russell Group universities should be torn down to the mediocrity that Owen seems to think the rest of us should be moulded to.

Le Hoon Du Jour: Kerry McCarthy MP

Cunt:

For a start, intelligent parents are more likely to be left-leaning and thus ideologically opposed to private schooling. (This is an incontrovertible fact, based on many years' personal observation on my part).

Congratulations, Kerry, for deciding that in order to be intelligent, you have to forget about personal responsibility and suck the government's cock. You arrogant fucking whore: I hope you choke on your taxpayer-funded weetabix.

PS How about that fucking left-leaning Dianne Abbott, then? And I fucking bet if you could get a man drunk enough to stick his cock in you, you'd ship your fucking kids off to a private school, you overbearing, arrogant cocksniffer.

Just go fuck yourself with a rusty shovel, OK?

Listen, I hate Christmas as much as the next motherfucker, OK, but I appreciate that some people might see it as a good thing. I certainly wouldn't go as far as this cunt:

SCIENTISTS have warned that Christmas lights are bad for the planet due to huge electricity waste and urged people to get energy efficient festive bulbs.

CSIRO researchers said householders should know that each bulb turned on in the name of Christmas will increase emissions of greenhouse gases.

Dr Glenn Platt, who leads research on energy demand, said Australia got 80 per cent of its electricity by burning coal which pumps harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

He said: "Energy efficient bulbs, such as LEDs, and putting your Christmas lights on a timer are two very easy ways to minimise the amount of electricity you use to power your lights."

He said the nation's electricity came from "centralised carbon intensive, coal-based power stations" which were responsible for emitting over one third of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions.

Dr Platt added: "For a zero-emission Christmas light show, you may consider using solar powered lights or sourcing your electricity from verified green power suppliers."

Dear Dr Glenn Twat: just go fuck yourself, you lentil-munching, cock-sucking, goat-felching, fuck-faced spazmong of a killjoy dildo.

Cunt.

Quick to fuck up

Never mind, you fat cunt, you can repent at leisure.

The twat was running a chaffeur service from his house, which was advertised in public. He even bragged about using ex-police drivers. The Mail on Sunday got hold of this and pointed out that this might be a bit of a security risk, what with Quick being the head of the anti-terror unit and all.

So the twat gets all huffy and claims that this is now all a big security risk, evacuates his family and then, even more bizarrely, issues a press release claiming that this was all "an attempt to undermine an investigation which is legitimate. The Tory machinery and their press friends are mobilised against this investigation in a wholly corrupt way, and I feel very disappointed in the country I am living in."

Christ, what a maroon!

At 15.45 the Conservative party issues this statement in reply: "The Conservative Party played no part whatsoever in the publication of this story. Assistant Commissioner Quick's claims of corruption and intimidation are absurd and wholly untrue. As the officer leading the inquiry into the allegations involving Damian Green, Assistant Commissioner Quick should display objective professionalism and not make baseless, political attacks. He should retract all of his allegations immediately."

A few minutes later Mr Quick issues this statement: "I regret and wish to retract my comment regarding corruption. The comment was made as I was in the act of having to move my family out of our home to a place of safety following the article in today's Mail on Sunday."

Mind you, I'll give him one thing: he makes Ian Blair look competent.

Update: Big Mac thinks Quick is well out of order and New Scotland Yard is too cosy to New Labia.
