Martin Durkin, UK Nanny State and University Culture
Filmmaker Martin Durkin attributes the Brexit vote and the rise of Donald Trump to a backlash against "nanny state" intrusions and university-driven social engineering. Durkin criticizes the "intelligentsia" and the academic class for promoting restrictive policies on food, language, and social behavior. He argues that modern universities have become a "terrible evil social force" that churns out a specific class of state-aligned activists.
