   I'll let "banana" in on a secret. Students have always been drinking a lot.   
   (No marketing needed.) This has been the case since the first Universities   
   were founded, hundreds of years ago. Most students understand that they live   
   a privileged life. While other young adults have to work, they can, up to a   
   certain point of course, determine their own daily schedule. That's why they   
   can drink when they want to drink.   
      
   Some left wing students think otherwise. In the eighties a certain Neil   
   Fernandez, who later called himself "banana" and who even got a Ph. D. in   
   theoretical Marxism, "joined" the Miner's strike as an "equal". He wasn't an   
   equal, of course. After the miners lost their jobs as a result of the   
   actions by their elected dictator, Neil returned to University, leaving them   
   behind, where he no doubt bored his fellow students with his bananaist   
   mantras.   
      
   "Banana" tends to address people personally. In his beloved news group acpd   
   for instance he addressed Prince Charles, Tony Blair, Nelson Mandela, Ian   
   Kershaw and now Virginia Cameron. Does Dr. Fernandez, as he is called in   
   real life, really believe that said people have subscribed to his precious   
   ng? If he does, he is more separated from reality than he used to be. But   
   let's for argument's sake assume that Mrs. Cameron read Neil's latest   
   "analysis". He claims that she caused her son's disability. That is a   
   libellous statement. She could sue him'...   
      
   > (2) I say 'ex-junkie' to be polite.   
      
   "Banana" cannot call mrs. Cameron an ex-junkie because he has no idea what   
   he is talking about. No paper, not even the Evening Standard who first   
   published the article about David Cameron's relative and his drug problems,   
   indicated that Virginia Cameron is an "ex-junkie". "Banana's" "analysis" is   
   soley based up on an article in the Guardian that carried a picture of  Mr.   
   and Mrs. Cameron! (A typical banarism called "gaze at the picture and start   
   ranting".) If she had been the relative under discussion the Evening   
   Standard would have published this fact because it would be politically   
   relevant.
