Up a River without a Paddle: Trenton Oldfield

Trenton Oldfield, a 37 year old Australian activist, will appeal against the Home Office ruling that he must leave the UK. The protester entered the Thames in April 2012 to disrupt the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race in a demonstration against elitism and government cuts. He was recently ordered to leave the country after being given a six-month jail sentence. As a supporter of the Dark Blues, I was quite annoyed when the race was disrupted while Oxford commanded a slender lead. After the re-start a stroke of misfortune saw an Oxford rower break his oar, leaving Cambridge to claim a comfortable victory. But I did not call for Oldfield’s banishment from this land (at least not seriously!) for his disruption of our sacrosanct tradition.
