Thirty years ago, a group of
young, idealistic designers and
engineers was getting ready to approach the world with eager
eyes and a strong belief that they could make society a better place.
Then there are the foreign students — all those
young Chinese and Koreans studying at Central St Martin's University of the Arts in King's Cross, the European students on Erasmus exchange programmes around the country (doubly bad no doubt in Mr Farage's
eyes since it's an EU scheme, that also sends Britons to the Continent, where they might too pick up the habit of speaking these foreign languages), the students from the Indian sub-continent studying
engineering and computer science, students from around the globe trying to acquire or improve their grasp of the English language that can be their passport to a good job wherever in the globe they come from.
