Me, a dumb out of touch lib: I don't really see how ruining some random theatre school's graduation is at all helpful or related to the cause.

You, a righteous genius (who is most likely an academic):
You just don't get it. This is the same thing as the Civil Rights movement

I didn't think this place could smell any worse. I stand corrected.

London is the only home I've ever known. It is a marvellous and welcoming city, full of tradition and opportunities. The people posting on this site who are desperate to convince you it's awful generally don't live here, which is excellent news for those of us who do.
