Why the need for Cameron to accuse Oxford?

We already have enough hand-wringing liberals, who are always prepaired to accuse some organisation or other of not including enough black persons from joining their ranks, without the need for our own supposedly right-wing Prime Minister, joining the ranks of the hand-wringers with false figures to try and support his own suppositions.
/// For a start, the figures quoted by Cameron and Lammy are misleading. Yes, only one applicant of Caribbean origin was admitted last year, but this ignores the fact that 40 other black students, of African or mixed heritage, were given places.///
/// And in total, almost 20 per cent of Oxford's student population is from ethnic minorities — hardly an indicator of rampant prejudice.///

I entered a perfectly reasonable question, why must you try and be so aggressive?
I have told you before, I unlike you, are prepared to criticise politicians no matter what party they belong to, I am not that set in my ways that I will continue to tread the party line no matter what they do or say.

Apologies accepted Gromit, to answer your question,
/// Are you disappointed with Cameron? ///
I was disappointed with Cameron from the offset, who would I have chosen? That is a tough one given one's hand of a group of barely stated shaving youngsters, straight out of Uni.
I would have gone for straight talking Ann Widdecombe or perhaps Ken Clarke if he had different views on Europe.
There a perfectly reasonable answer without the need to add a footnote such as yours.ie, (Nick Griffin excepted).
No need for it Gromit, totally no need.
