I don't know what his problem is.

Oxford Uni isn't supposed to admit an average, it's suppose to admit the best.

What must it be like for Lammy, living a life without ever knowing what it's like to be satisfied.

Listened to him this morning. Dog whistle politics, just like his position over Grenfell.

What on earth are "contextual admissions"?

Is there anything David Lammy is not unhappy about?

He must have a season ticket on Bandwagon South Central.

They seem to admit lots of people from state schools and lots of people from ethnic backgrounds.

What's his explanation for his particular chosen group not being admitted? Or is he just going to make his usual stupid thinly veiled hints that they're all racists without anything to back it?

He's got to find something to justify his tax-funded salary.

Still, according to current Labour policy, he's perfectly entitled to identify as a whingeing whenever he likes.

The article shows UK universities have 25% if students from bame backgrounds, Oxford is 18%.

Yet the bame population of the UK is only 14%, should we not be asking why universities are discriminating against white students - or is that not allowed ?

Lammy is a politician.

He has a defined list of people who voted and will continue to vote for him.

Being accurate or overly honest isn’t a requirement when he is simply saying things he knows those voters want to hear so that they keep him in power until his pension kicks in.

When that happens, he will switch to whatever philosophy is best for Lammy.

Lammy could go out and murder someone tomorrow and if he still stood for election under Labour he’d win. His constituency, Tottenham, has returned a Labour MP at every election since the 1950s. I don’t think he’s playing up to the gallery when he makes such comments but I think he genuinely believes in the issues he talks about.

No, I can’t buy that. He’s an MP. He believes in whatever is expedient and keeps him in the media.

Why does a man who sees racism and institutional racism in the UK everywhere he looks still live in the UK ?

There is nothing stopping him from claiming asylum and going to live somewhere else.

Well they have given ‘best male’ awards to women also haven’t they this year wink


Ps - maybe they’re ironic awards?
