Oxford Man To Turn His Back On Funeral
62 Answers
An Oxford student plans a protest of getting people to turn their backs on Lady Thatcher's cortege. The Mail sees this as "disrupting". Do you? Should it be stopped? Should he not live in a £700,000 house?

Yes, Daisy, rustication (literally "being sent to the country"; how Oxbridge !) still exists, though it is generally known as 'being sent down' whether temporarily or permanently. But, if it was employed against students who had leftish views, however strong, and who demonstrated peacefully, both Oxford and Cambridge would have been pretty empty over the years! And where do you think the Russians looked to find traitors and spies ?
I think it's a fantastic idea for people who want to show their opinion without being violent, loud or otherwise disruptive. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to the funeral so that I could do this, but if the funeral procession were going outside where I work (it's not), then I would probably join in.
We live in a democracy and certainly I don't think this should be stopped, I think it's a much preferable idea for a way for people to express themselves rather than mass celebrations/parties or fighting/chaos in the street.
I have no idea what the figure of his house has to do wtih anything.

Don't care about the price of his house
the lad's foolish, but I when I was there, I do remember Oxford antipathy to this hagiography going a long way back -

Average house price, Tunbridge Wells £333,000 (2012), detached £555,000. There's a semi on Hoopla sold for £836,000 (2013). I'm surprised at the lowish average.
Apparently the Mail thinks that people whose parents live in comparatively expensive houses should admire Lady Thatcher or not complain about the funeral, and certainly not object to what she did. The parents might well be Mail readers, so it's a shock, even a scandal, if they haven't brought their children up to think like them. Blimey, there's barely a house in this village that fetches less than £700k and I can guarantee there are some socialists among the owners. Perhaps Mail readers should look around more.
