School for scoundrels

With the news that the Home Secretary has banned a suspected terrorist from studying AS level Biology or Chemistry, Sunny asks

Hmmm… what other subjects could be put on the ’suspect banned list’? Clearly flying lessons are out of the question. No photography lessons either, the Met police will have you. Mathematics? Foreign languages? The list is endless.

Oxford University’s Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree should definitely top the list. Look at the huge roster of inordinate bastards who’ve graduated in PPE and gone on to bring misery, death and shame to the human race.

The course should be wound up immediately and its lecturers prosecuted for inciting terror. Failing that, all applications should be routed through MI5 who can then have all the wannabe monsters quietly rounded up and shipped to Guantanamo Bay. Hop to it Home Secretary.

    Unfortunately your provision of that link has caused me to discover that Mary Ann Sieghart is writing a book on contemporary Britain. For some reason this news has plunged me into gloom.

    Surely people with law degrees are ahead of us… err, I mean, them… in the ‘despicable bastard’ queue?

      I agree that people who law degrees should be arrested. After all, who else takes the government to Court over anti-terror laws?

    It’s the engineers you really need to worry about. There’s something a bit dodgy about them. Shifty eyes, or something.

    Though I guess if you’re banning “suspects” from science A Levels, then they’re unlikely to qualify for an engineering degree anyway.

    Sometimes I wonder if they put these press-releases out just to see if anybody is actually out there AND listening.

    Remind me, HOW did these people get jobs?

    I wasn’t convinced of the badness of that list until I reached the very bottom and discovered the name of Toby Young. *shudder*

      Come on, mate. What about Paul Gambaccini? Is there a crime against humanity he hasn’t committed?

    I was cottaging in a toilet in an Oxford college, when I noticed that someone had made a little sign for the bog-roll dispenser: “PPE degrees, please take one”.
