Looking back on my degree, it’s astounding really how dreary the politics was. Not just the lecturers, but the students. My politics at this point was a staid, blokey anarcho-syndicalism, but compared to the Cold War liberalism of my peers this made me a rock and roll wild man.https://twitter.com/tristandross/status/1250390341796192256 …

I worked at Warwick about a decade later - I was interviewed by the campus Lib Dems, but never saw the Tories. Or much of the Warwick Rowers, which REALLY pissed me off.
