I just asked Toby on Twitter what a "pantywaist" is. He replied "Look in the mirror". That's the level of discourse we're dealing with here.

How the fuck did he manage to get into Oxford?
His famous dad made a phonecall.
For those of us involved in setting up free schools and campaigning for education reform, this is excellent news. It confirms something most of us have know for some time, namely, that few people are willing to defend the educational status quo beyond the teaching unions and diehard Left-wing ideologues like the SWP.

Adonis is ex Tory/SDP anyway.
Here's a copy of a letter he wrote to gasbag, Harry Phibbs back in the 80's

J S Mill's On Liberty is his "sacred text" by btw.
Let me tell you how this is going to pan out, Professor. The attacks will be unrelenting. Your private life will raked over and anything embarrassing you’ve ever done will be re-hashed in the public prints. Private Eye will reprint silly letters you wrote as a schoolboy. Women with crazy hair will shout “for shame” at you as you walk down the street. Fair weather friends will drop away. Some of the academics who boldly announced they’d join you in this venture will suddenly discover pressing commitments which, regrettably, mean they can’t teach at the New College for the Humanities after all. Some backers will pull out. You may even begin to lose some of your sinecures as your opponents work behind the scenes to isolate and ostracise you.
Here’s how you should respond: Don’t give an inch. No compromise, no surrender. If Terry Eagleton or any other member of the left-wing Brahmin attacks you in public, smack them back. Match them punch for punch. Better yet, hit first, hit hard and keep hitting. That’s their philosophy. It should be yours. When some wretched little Trot creeps out from under a bush and accuses me of sleeping with prostitutes or being in the pay of a private consortium or of being a racist, sexist, homophobic snob, I bring to mind the words of Sean Connery in The Untouchables: “You wanna get Capone? Here’s how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue! That’s the Chicago way, and that’s how you get Capone!”
And he's not at all bitter about this being revealed

Mr Young was named recently as one of four celebrities who could face huge legal bills over the naming of Ryan Giggs on Twitter over the footballer's affair with Imogen Thomas.
He´s a professional. Have to say his book is very funny though, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People...
Could be worse ,he could have called him snake's and ladders
More drivel from helmet-head. Another attack on the unions and their leaders. Just whip up the hate, Tobes. It's what you do best.

It's not what he does best. It's all he's good for.
What he does best is crash and burn. Long may he continue!
I dare say Ludovic kennedy's parents would have begged to differ....I was unconvinced about the cuntitude of Toby Young but Ludo seals it. Anyone who names a child after a shit board game deserves to die slowly and painfully.
In 2010, A-level candidates at independent schools were three times more likely to get straight As than candidates at state schools – and that bald statistic flatters the state sector because it includes grammar schools. If you remove grammars from the equation, only 10,802 children got three As at A-level in Britain last year, compared to 12,000 pupils at independent schools.
More children got three As in the country’s tiny handful of fee-paying schools than in the entire population of children at comprehensives.
Children eligible for free school meals perform particularly badly in the state sector. On average, only 27% of children eligible for free school meals got five GCSEs including Maths and English at grade C or above, compared to a national average of 54%.
