LEFTY INGRATES

International Socialist Resistance and Socialist Students were handing out flyers for their forthcoming conference outside the University of London Union this lunchtime.

Apart from preying on the naive with the heading "Do you want to change the world?" above a globe constructed of words representing the world's many ills (which apparently include "individualism"), the leaflet contained the following gem under the banner "FIGHT FOR YOUR FUTURE" which made me chuckle:
We have been given nothing from society all our lives.
Do ISR / SS really believe that society has given them nothing over the entire course of their lives?

I wish I'd noticed this before I'd walked off - I could have reminded them of the University no more than ten feet from where they were stood.
