A strange & probably unhealthy "graduate of Churchill College, Cambridge & former chair of the Cambridge University Conservative Association", who clearly has *no idea* what modern universities are actually like, misleadingly claims "fringe opinions are dominating academic life".

In 2018 Harry Clynch described as "refreshing & real" Jacob Rees-Mogg's "honesty & openness with the electorate".

Since then, JRM has said #Grenfell victims "lacked common sense", called Tory MP's part of the "illuminati", RTd German far-right party AfD, & met with Steve Bannon.

Harry joined SGM-FX in 2020 - an organisation "providing a proactive & cost effective deliverable foreign exchange service" (😳), having worked in the financial services sector In the City of London & Beijing. So he's obviously completely in touch with day to day University life.

In 2017, Harry Clynch wrote an article decrying Corbyn’s "support for terrorist organisations", "the disgusting nature of the anti-Semitism now rife in the modern Left", & Corbyn's tendency to "celebrate, failed socialist regimes".😬

Harry Clynch described the 2017 @UKLabour manifesto as "an absolute disgrace" which promoted "policies which should have been fatally discredited with the fall of the Berlin Wall!" No wonder he finds Universities rife with "fringe opinions are dominating academic life". 🤪

Clynch even had a pop at Theresa May, who - he claims - "went out of her way to explicitly condemn Libertarians as believers in a cult of selfish individualism".

I must have missed that - but if she did say that, she was EXACTLY RIGHT.

No wonder he writes for the @Spectator.👍

Elsewhere Clynch sounds like he's been radicalized at Cambridge Uni, ranting about the "far-left cabal" in the Students Union: "It would be one thing if this was simply a lone nutter... But the truth is that this anti-British, anti-military sentiment has infiltrated the CUSU!" 😳
