Did you see the news story last week about the students union that wanted to ban clapping because it might cause distress to sensitive souls like myself. It was the cause of much hilarity on various topical comedy shows. But I thought it was a thoughtful and well-meaning attempt to be a bit more inclusive and maybe a hopeful sign for the future.

    I thought it was sad.

    Yet another bit of social-engineering telling everyone that one more piece of normal behaviour for thousands of years is now wrong because it might offend 0.00001% - who might not be present and probably wouldn't care if they were.

    Just more Frankfurt School.
