There must be a kind of traditional Tory, still, somewhere, surely, who looks at this aghast. Who believes in culture, and associated colonial ideals of supremacy. Who holds in highest esteem the study of the English canon at Britain's great old universities. For whom this is what national pride is.
I’d be a little less confident talking about “rip-off degrees like English” if I’d just misspelled the name of my country on my promotional chocolate.
