The thing about being put off, is the fact that you thought about it/tried it in the first place. And then told us.that's not what I said at all anyway - I was talking about being put off

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered
But it's not going to happen because he doesn't even stick his head out of the parapet or in fact uncover anything or do anything to upset rich people.
This is him winning the Guardian Media award on behalf of Varisty with 'Belfast hero' Radio 5 football pundit Colin Murray and the Guardian's media person and women's issues writer Jane Martison.
This is Cambridge celebrating
The judges were Jon Snow (Ardingley, annual fees 28K+), Evan Davis (from Epsom posh commuter belt, grammar school), Alan Rusbridger (Cranleigh, annual fees 30K), Kwame Kwei-Armah, (went to unnamed private school http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2003/nov/04/race.publicschools)
Jay Rayner (Haberdashers' Aske's, annual fees 15K) and Jane Bruton, editor of Grazia (big fan of internships and unpaid workers http://www.reiss.com/explore/blog/grazias-jane-bruton-talks-to-reiss/)
[for the uni sports journalism awards it was Eleanor Oldroyd (Oxford High School for Girls annual fees 12K) and Colin Murray (grammar school in northern Ireland)]
Alan Rusbridger sends his children to private school and a hunch is that a fair few others do too.
So no, there is no family nepotism, just sustained transmission of privilege from one generation to the next 'like recognises like'.

This is him using hip-hop street dance to investigate branding.
Patrick Kingsley: "Branding is often seen by cynics as a field full of, well, wankers." (The Guardian, 2011)
"Collectively, they are The Partners, and they are a branding agency. In between the first and second floors of their offices an inscription, written in gold, gothic lettering, reads: "Are we the most creative agency in the world, or a bunch of fucking wankers?""
"I couldn't say whether it is the most creative company in the world, though it is obviously up there with the best. But wankers? Definitely not."

Together we can conquer the global energy crisis.
If you could make clean energy out of Urban scorn for posh lefty student types, climate change would be history.

I had a look through the list of former Varsity editors. It appears - and this may come as a shock to some of you - that they tend to do pretty well.
2007 editor Hermione Buckland-Hoby is now at the Observer.
2006 editor Jon Swaine is Washington correspondent for the Daily Telegraph.
2005 editor Amol Rajan is at the Independent. "Prior to university he spent a gap year at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, becoming unofficially the youngest person ever to represent the UK at a political conference abroad. Which was nice. He now works as an adviser to Evgeny Lebedev"
2004 editor James Franklin Archibald "Archie" Bland is deputy editor at the Independent.
2003 editor Oliver Duff is executive editor at the Independent.

However much I agree with this, I have to ask how can it be established? (In the UK?)

You think this is bad? You should look at libcom. Similar but with longer words.OMG Urban so bitchy.
I mean, seriously. It's like being out on a Friday night with a load of nail technicians. You have a point but still
You think this is bad? You should look at libcom. Similar but with longer words.
Bitchy and verbose? All my christmasses, etc.
So both the right and the Left are dominated by rich upper class cunts, what a surprise.
What's the way forward?
I think the answer is more practical stuff. Doing is more inclusive than talking.
