Another fund to help black students at Oxbridge only? Those unis have a combined endowment of £13bn, the black students enrolled already had the capital (social or economic) to get in and their graduate prospects are second to none. Elitism in the name of equality again.

#Leicester: 10:38pm update from Belgrave Road. Word going around that some of these racist Hindutva thugs might have come down from London. They’re now outnumbered and cornered. They broke the peace and caused a riot with their provocation. Did they think this was India?
