The University of Sussex is located on the fringes of Brighton, a place famous for its embrace of what we might politely describe as alternative world views. I’d imagine that the number of piercings or brightly coloured heads of hair per capita is higher than anywhere else in the UK. It was the even the first place in the UK to be daft enough to elect a Green MP (the sickeningly sanctimonious Caroline Lucas), a mistake it has continued to make ever since.

Sussex is a university that, by dint of its location, will attract more than its fair share of the weird and not especially wonderful. Those people will be the noisiest and least tolerant on campus. For them, diversity is only acceptable when it relates to approved minorities, and diversity of thought is never acceptable.
