The Stepford Student website is full of interesting articles on current affairs. For instance ‘I couldn’t give a single flying shit about electoral reform’ by Nathan Akehurst and ‘Vote for whoever the fuck you want’ by Edgar Sait-Jones. There’s something for everyone. ‘Tim Lott’s annoying but Rod Liddle is a fuckbadger’ by Ruby Lott-Lavigna, would, I am sure, amuse Rod. Tim Lott might be entertained, too, given that the author is his daughter. She has a gift for understatement: ‘Dear Tory voter: I can call you a cunt if I want’ is her latest offering.
You may recognise the name of the website. The term ‘Stepford student’ was coined by Brendan O’Neill in an article published by The Spectator last year:
Perhaps Brendan’s article should have come with a trigger warning. But who could have predicted that a group of students would have been so affected by the piece that they would launch their own website, complete with expletive-ridden headlines and sincere black-and-white byline pictures.
In recent days, The Stepford Student seems to have become a support group for students appalled that the country didn’t actually vote as they wished.
