Universities are not producing enough Tory voters...therefore, obviously, Universities are the problem and need to change

To be fair: "Poisoned Mind 101" sounds much more exciting than "Calculus 101".

Best line on this was (as ever) Paul Musgrave’s: “I can’t even get them to read the syllabus”

My mind must be more toxic than an English river. I spent nine years allowing it to be polluted by higher education, including contamination by calculus.

Astonishing how the country has historically been led by the poisoned minds of Oxbridge elites - I guess that's why we've been a left wing utopia for the last 80 years.

Also has never seen a group academics discuss a topic, you get at least N+1 opinions, where N= the number of academics. Yet somehow the all work together to poison minds?

Calculus can't be poisoning minds; it involves integration, something KB seems obsessed about.

Segmenting, targeting, and positioning are very dangerous concepts. It got Socrates killed.

I mean i did get my mind poisoned by C++ in my Computer Science class. Took years to recover from it.

No, clearly what she means is that the way you deal with minds poisoned by propaganda, is through higher education. Surely?

So maybe the best approach is to say ‘yes indeed, Kemi, more and better higher education is definitely the best solution to poisoned minds. We’re on it’.

KB doesn’t have an original thought in her mind. She’s parroting Trump.
