Kemi Badenoch has claimed young Conservatives are marked down at university because of their personal politics.
Speaking at the end of the annual Tory conference, the leadership candidate told party delegates that the younger generation are “afraid to share their politics” out of fear their peers will attack them or lecturers will mark them down. A serious accusation and she failed to provide any evidence whatsoever. Another attack on education by those who want the plebs to remain ignorant.

@Judeet99 and they are about to vote her leader

@Beedazzled They'll get what they deserve, but let's face it, it's like having to choose between the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Long gone are the days of Rory Stewart and Dominic Grieve.

@Judeet99
Not ignorant, worse

They want their followers to feel victimised and angry.

@TCatInReality Which relies on them being ignorant and uneducated about the reality of things.

@Judeet99
Absolutely. But they could just keep them ignorant with bread and circuses.

What Badenoch (and all the Tory wannabe keaders) is doing is an even more dangerous version.

@TCatInReality The British public are on the whole a pretty skeptical bunch and social "tipping points" have happened unexpectedly and fairly frequently in the past, leading to humungous demonstrations and disorder. Poll tax was one such matter. They know (or should do) that this could quite easily happen again. We're not quite as prone to demos as say the French, but it can and does happen.

@Judeet99 There are some politics one should be ashamed of. I'm glad they feel that way.
