Anti bourgeoise bias in the Tory press

I read this interesting critique of the British Higher Eduction system this morning by Christine Odone in the Telegraph.

"Stand by for youngsters, in the best traditions of a Stalinist show-trial or Maoist self-criticism session, using their university interviews not to display their knowledge but to repudiate their parents'. "My bourgeois-deviationist parents tried to instill a love of books," the youngster will crow, "but out of loyalty to proletarian internationalism I resisted and did nothing but play computer games." Asbos, not A-levels, are the ticket to the groves of academe."

Is the Telegraph at long last turning its ample hulk, much like the MSC Napoli, away from its support for UKIP and back towards the mainstrea Cameron utopia?
