Members of the university are constantly speaking about racial and gender persecution but are absolutely silent on the matter of ‘political persecution’ where those with minority political opinions are disenfranchised, ignored, or forced to stay silent by the political status quo.
I’m a traditionalist conservative, and supporter of Brexit. Why? Because I believe in the organic state, the monarchy, the defence and affirmation of traditional values, and our right as British people to determine our destiny on the front stage.
Conservatism is not just the “Tory Party”, but a respect for the sacrifices made by those before us, a sense of deferrence to the perrenial truth found amongst all world religions, and a love for the nation. But all I hear is “Oh yes! Corbyn is going to get rid of tuition fees”.
But time and time again, I feel like I have to keep it to myself. People in my seminar group are constantly going on about Corbyn, and how terrible leaving the European Union is – and I just sit there in silence feeling uncomfortable.
This isn’t okay. Why do we have all these initiatives designed to stand against ‘racism’ or ‘sexism’, but none to tackle the most obvious and prevalent form of discrimination that happens on campus?
