Chancellor Blessed

A friend of mine is involved with this campaign to have Brian Blessed as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge and I really think this is a passionate and inspiring video. It's the kind of words you want to hear a Chancellor say especially one from a place like Cambridge. You can make it, don't let the bastards grind you down, don't be held back, a secondary modern or comprehensive education is no bar to excellence and success - stirring stuff.

Although it may seem like it started off as a Rag Week prank it's clear - to me at least - that he really does want this post and wants to do good with it with all the strength and passion he can muster.

  1. I agree, this is great viewing. Sign this man up and give him a library induction group!

    At the same time though slighty menacing?
