i was talking to a mate about the use of 'man' and that it is now part of urban hipster glossary but down in the north east of england it is used differently, 'ah shut up tony, man!' interesting how an outdated hippy term has now been recuperated by the children of hippies.

Is it just me or does he look a bit like Mark Thatcher?

I suspect its use in the northeast pre-dates the hippy movement.

and more stereotyping. all students are middle class? have you been to a university of late? its not like the young ones any more!

It's not, but certain liberal arts institutions still produce the bulk of radical activists. It's therefore easier to pin the m/c tag on a student from Goldsmiths than it is London Met or Queen Mary.

They have to be fairly middle class to attract the anarchists

eh? D'you think qmul is any less mc than goldsmiths because it's in mile end? And what about soas?

 

[Pickman's model]

And of course traditionally sociologists have provided quite a number of radicals at eg nanterre

 

[frogwoman]

Soas is pretty mc lol

 

[Pickman's model]

Wot no mention of the lse hardly a 'liberal arts' establishment but well-known for producing radicals

That was a decent anti-fash demo in Whitehall, but jesus, wayman bennett is a patronising twunt

 

[malatesta32]

i am not sure how anyone can say that any 1 uni is more middle class than others. and there are plenty of WC folk on here who have been to uni as well. also why is middle class such an insult? surely middle class people are actually NICER than mucky workers?

yeah and the 'problem' that a lot of antifash face is that we are all deemed 'UAF' by BBC, EDL etc, when we are not. hence bennett being annoying as it looks like he is speaking for us when i assume most antifash here keep well out of the UAF pen/kettle/demo site to wander about at will.

 

[cesare]

It all got very confusing when they made polytechnics into universities. I wonder if you can still do some kind of back of a fag packet class analysis based on ex-polys v traditional unis.

too right we do. I've had enough dealings with swappie fuckwittery to last me a lifetime

most of the old polys were pretty w/c

 

[malatesta32]

bit before my time that. the idea still remains that students are all middle class like the fucking young ones or student grant. the cliche is not borne out by the facts. up till fairly recently the number of working class students was increasing.

I always remember when I was at the polytechnic of North London and some kid spoke at a general meeting and said something on the lines of ' I came here to have fun and study not be part of politics' and someone shouted out ' Fuck off to University then'

Going to be decreasing, especially PFWC people.

 

[malatesta32]

looks like 2 BNP getting a shoeing!

 

[malatesta32]

this looks like these 2 big tough guys are in the wrong side of the demo. i have seen this happen so many times, fash 'infiltrate' antifash side, get rumbled, battered then cry 'no fair!' they tried it on and lost. and all this shit about 10 on 2, both sides prefer being in the majority. why wouldnt you?

Like I did you could do an access course then get onto a degree..mainly mature students...well if over 23 counts as mature...I went to Manchester Poly and after I left ( I did a sabbatical in between) and we had grants in them days...I actually had savings..I was the most well off I have ever been...no effing debt...fuck me what a turn round to nowsadays.

 

[ddraig]

one of them is the Croydon bnp cllr no?
