Paul,
Nothing has changed there then. They are surrounded by idealistic Trotsyists and Marxists as they try to find their young feet in the world, and everything that is wrong with it, is someone elses fault.
Sadly these young people with a modecum of a brain, seem to want to turn a blind eye to what leads them to University in the first place, especially Cambridge....................history.
They, like so many others today, want to enter a "University" system that now seems to eminate from every school where they think they can make money and allow practically everybody to join and come out with lots of qualifications to do nothing for the rest of their life.
The good news is, some do come out of that system and want to join the forces, and there are a small minority who do wear their poppies with pride, because they have been brought up properly and respect those who fought for their freedom, to allow them to study in a free country and democracy!
