I don't know Emma Webb from Adam, but she retweeted this:
Which is... misguided, to say the least.
'Something waffle something vague uhh magisterial, that's a good one, uhhh special something unique DON'T CHANGE IT, IT IS WHAT I SAID IT IS, HOW DARE YOU'.
Oxford is 'special' for many reasons. Near the bottom of that list is 'the myopic sense of justifiable elitist privilege that fellow travellers imbue it with'. Not especially 'Marxist' to observe that either.
Oxford is a very good university. Its research reputation is second to none. However, it's also home to a lot of people who see it as essentially a finishing school and networking opportunity.
