Protester Trenton Oldfield wreaked havoc at the boat race on Saturday causing it to be halted just over halfway through and then restarted half an hour later as well as placing himself in considerable danger.
He claims, we are told, to be protesting against elitism. The boat race is contested between crews from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Mr Oldfield was educated at public school and has studied at the London School of Economics. So we're not talking a life of deprivation.
Now it's fair to say that I'm fairly anti elitism in our society. OK so I've not been on the front pages of the national press but I would suggest that as a protest against privilege in our society In My Shoes kind of knocks Mr Oldfield into a cocked hat.
