CAMPAIGNING 93% how one female student challenges abusive snobs

This is simply an inspiring example of how one student CAN make a difference.

And how narrow-minded bigotry and abuse can be productively and positively challenged.

An underprivileged student formed a campaigning and support group in response to such commonplace phenomena as "chav parties", where wealthy snob idiots dress up as their grossly stereotyped version of working class people.


UNDERSTANDING TERMS: BULLINGDON CLUB
The Guardian article makes reference to the notorious Bullingdon Club, an Oxbridge set known for such enlightened antics as abusing waiters and literally throwing money around as they leave scenes they've created. It says a lot about 'modern' Britain that 2 of the last 3 PMs were members. Theresa May, creator of the "hostile environment" for immigrants repeatedly ruled illegal by UK courts, couldn't be as this charming bunch allow male members only. You can watch a C4 docudrama, When Boris Met Dave (be aware: it was broadcast post-watershed) + a C4 News feature on the movie on the same topic, The Riot Club.
