Tories: Students are customers, universities must give them what they want.

Students: We want social justice, reparation, decolonisation, and an end to mindless veneration of the Victorians.

Tories: No not like that.
Tories: Students must have high value degrees to build the future.

Students: We think critically, assess evidence, call out bs, imagine a future for everyone.

Tories: No we mean get rich and make stuff that makes us rich.
Tories: We protect heritage and learn from the complex past.

Students: We understand history and can critique nationalist myths that perpetuate inequalities today.

Tories: Students are a woke baying mob, close the #history and #Archaeology departments.
