We need a new name for them

We used to have universities, which were centres of learning and inquiry. Now, they have been reduced to monoversities with one view – one permitted view – on everything.
    Global warming is going on at a dangerous rate and it is (entirely implied) man-made; Brexit is a disaster; politics must be left-wing with everyone taking a contrary view excluded/evicted; and students need ‘distress warnings’ about obvious facts of life. Purpose, fit for, not spring to mind.
    No doubt Bremoaners will deny that the £1.2 billion which universities receive from the EU; with all the attendant obligations to pretend that the EU is the best thing since the invention of the bread slicer; has anything to do with their attitude.
