Have your sick-bag ready...
This is Peter Hitchens sneering at higher education, basically because it might make people start thinking for themselves and rejecting Traditional Morality:

I suppose I can agree with one thing. It was a waste of taxpayers' money to try to educate Hitchens!

1. It boils down him saying "I was a lazy student who learnt nothing, therefore all students are lazy

2. Ha!
I like how he blames the influence of university education for the decline in Britain's manufacturing. A true WTF moment.
