I have arrived, I think, with the arbitrary intention to do Modern History and Politics, but I soon switch just as whimsically to Philosophy and Politics, which several of my new friends are doing. I soon realise that I am not especially philosophical, if that means endless circular discussions of the ‘What is is?’ conundrum or whether, if you were in the French Resistance and were tortured by the Nazis, it would be ethical to lie to them. ‘I’d probably just betray everyone as soon as I saw the Anton Diffring lookalike with the duelling scar’ I think to myself.
