Meanwhile, on Planet Zog ...

From today's Metro:

Not enough black men are studying at university, a minister said yesterday... The MP for Tottenham insisted both the African and Afro-Caribbean communities had a 'terrifically strong culture of aspiration and self-improvement'. But he warned that more needed to be done to 'tap into that culture and harness it' - or more youngsters would become gang members. 'When that potential isn't directed and offered an outlet, it is replaced by frustration,' he said. 'You get too many of them winding up in prison. And you get too many of them having their lives cut brutally short.'

Oh, it's all coming back to me now ... back in the 1970s and 1980s when only 12% to 15% of people went on to higher education (see Figure 1, page 2) and the other 85% to 88% all became no-hope hardened criminals ... I remember it all vividly.
