ONCE again some of the future brains of Britain have demonstrated their calibre in fine form - competing over who gets hospitalised the most (The Press, October 9).

Do we really wonder why so many of these young idiots think Jeremy Corbyn would make an excellent Prime Minister?

I used to think it was because students were well meaning idealists that just hadn’t thought it through properly, but it turns out they may just have been drunk out of their skulls.

When driving through the city centre last weekend I could have quite easily killed two of them out on their freshers’ pub crawl without facing any manslaughter charges (and even bagged a souvenir “Viking raid” T-shirt to show for it) as groups just walked straight out into the road.

Fortunately when one stepped out in front of me in Rougier Street there was a copper on the corner watching. Unfortunately, she did what they usually do about it, nothing.

Not all students behave like this of course and we must understand they are still learning how to behave like adults.

In which case don’t respond with a university issued slap on the wrist, let’s treat them like adults; read them their rights and stick them in the back of the police van.

They’ll soon find it a lot more damaging to publicly brag about how many times they’ve appeared in court.
