The people with whom I graduated included Brian Wilson, MP; Jim Innes, of the West Highland Free Press; Richard S Tur, the youngest professor of law at university for many years; Professor David Petrie, who won a landmark case in the EU and who was my flatmate; and Tom Crooks, who challenged the UK legal system in a case that is frequently cited in Hansard as Crooks v the legal system—a touch ironically, as he beat the system hands down.
