The Intolerant Scum Infesting Our Universities

Over the last few years there has been a noticeable rise in intolerance of thought and speech in British universities.

Speakers have been deplatformed, statues removed, and professors sacked because their thoughts deeds, actions etc no longer fit in the with closed mindset of those who now choose to dictate to others what can be spoken or thought.

Last night (on the anniversary of Kristallnacht) the Israeli Ambassador to Britain was hounded out of the LSE by a baying lynch mob of scum, egged on by some vile posts on social media.

Student politics has always been "firey". However, to allow it to descend into blatant hatred, intolerance and thuggery on this scale is not only unacceptable, but highly dangerous. 

One day some of these scum (those who do not end up flipping burgers) will be in positions of power and influence eg in the media, politics, business etc. That time will be a danger to us all!

In the meantime, I urge to you write to the Director of the LSE Dame Nemat Shafik, asking her what will be done to hunt these people down, expel them from the LSE and ensure they are put in jail.

Her email address is as follows:

Those of you who are appalled at the disgusting scenes last night at the LSE re the lynch mob chasing the Israeli Ambassador should write to the Director of the LSE Dame Nemat Shafik at this addy minouche.shafik@lse.ac.uk here is the address of her assistant m.gajewska@lse.ac.uk

If the LSE and other universties cannot sort their own mess out, then they should be shut down.

Edinburgh University Bans David Hume

I am sad, and pissed off, to see that my alma mater Edinburgh University has fallen under the false religion of wokeism. It has banned David Hume, and renamed the David Hume Tower 40 George Square.

As per the zealots:

"Equality, Diversity and Inclusion - an update

An update on the work of the University’s Equality & Diversity Committee and its Race Equality and Anti-Racist Sub-committee.

The work of the University’s Equality & Diversity Committee and its Race Equality and Anti-Racist Sub-committee has continued over the summer. It has been further energised following the killing in May of George Floyd and the ongoing campaigning by the Black Lives Matter movement. Our Race Equality and Anti-Racist Action Plan is accelerating and amplifying our efforts.

It is important that campuses, curricula and communities reflect both the University’s contemporary and historical diversity and engage with its institutional legacy across the world. For this reason the University has taken the decision to re-name – initially temporarily until a full review is completed – one of the buildings in the Central Area campus.

From the start of the new academic year the David Hume Tower will be known as 40 George Square.

The use of the building will also change: a shortage of study space because of the social distancing requirements means that the building is being re-purposed to provide additional student study space for 20/21.

The interim decision has been taken because of the sensitivities around asking students to use a building named after the 18^th century philosopher whose comments on matters of race, though not uncommon at the time, rightly cause distress today.

This is ahead of the more detailed review of the University’s links to the past in the context of meaningful action and repair; this work is ongoing and is considering many other issues beyond the naming of buildings. It is a substantial exercise of research, engagement and reflection, upon which we will be able to adopt refreshed and appropriate policies on a range of issues such as the future naming of buildings as well as how we should commemorate our history more generally. The city of Edinburgh is also undertaking a similar review and the University is in discussions with the civic leaders about subjects which affect us both."

As per the more intelligent Stanford:

"Generally regarded as one of the most important philosophers to write in English, David Hume (1711–1776) was also well known in his own time as an historian and essayist. A master stylist in any genre, his major philosophical works—A Treatise of Human Nature (1739–1740), the Enquiries concerning Human Understanding (1748) and concerning the Principles of Morals (1751), as well as his posthumously published Dialogues concerning Natural Religion (1779)—remain widely and deeply influential.

Although Hume’s more conservative contemporaries denounced his writings as works of scepticism and atheism, his influence is evident in the moral philosophy and economic writings of his close friend Adam Smith. Kant reported that Hume’s work woke him from his “dogmatic slumbers” and Jeremy Bentham remarked that reading Hume “caused the scales to fall” from his eyes. Charles Darwin regarded his work as a central influence on the theory of evolution. The diverse directions in which these writers took what they gleaned from reading him reflect both the richness of their sources and the wide range of his empiricism. Today, philosophers recognize Hume as a thoroughgoing exponent of philosophical naturalism, as a precursor of contemporary cognitive science, and as the inspiration for several of the most significant types of ethical theory developed in contemporary moral philosophy."

These revisionist bastards are coming for everything, they need to be stopped! 

One thing is for certain, Edinburgh University will not be getting a penny from me when they send on their regular begging letters!

Universities No Longer Teach Tolerance

Disappointing to read this on a @cardiffuni students page. We’ll be making further enquiries & encouraging our members to report such behaviour. pic.twitter.com/QhoxtIgxlg

It is more than disheartening to see that people who are in "higher education" are no longer prepared to accept that others may hold different political views to them.

What kind of people will they become when they hold positions of responsibility, if they manage to qualify and get a job?

Students Favour Conformity Over Free Speech

The Times reports that fewer than half of students consistently support freedom of speech and two fifths favour censorship and no-platforming of controversial speakers, research has shown.

A “culture of conformity” may also be having an effect on undergraduates, who are often too intimidated to espouse unpopular views on campus, according to a report by the think tank Policy Exchange.

It is disheartening, to say the least, that those who are at university favour closing their minds to ideas that they consider "controversial".

The report recommends that Universities should:

1. Adopt an academic freedom commitment, such as the Chicago Principles, that clearly states that ‘debate or deliberation may not be suppressed because the ideas put forth are thought by some or even most members of the University community to be offensive, unwise, immoral, or wrong-headed’.

2. Appoint an Academic Freedom Champion (AFC), reporting directly to the Vice-Chancellor, with the power to investigate complaints of political discrimination across the Higher Education Institution (HEI), and to recommend actions as appropriate.

A closed mind sees nothing!

Emily Dawes Resigns - Finally!

Loyal readers will recall the furore caused by the ignorant bigot Emily Dawes (at that time President of Southampton University Students Union) who called for the destruction of the Rothenstein Mural at Southampton University.

Finally, after a disgraceful delay, she has resigned.

Students’ Union President Emily Dawes has decided to stand down with immediate effect.
We respect Emily’s decision and will continue to provide her with support. The University will continue to work closely with the Students’ Union, the elected team and staff. Full statement: pic.twitter.com/Yas7rLXkyK

Nanny Bans The Rothenstein Mural

The Rothenstein Mural was painted in 1916 as a memorial to members of the British universities serving in the Great War.

Painted in 1916 by Sir William Rothenstein, former Principal of the Royal College of Art, and measuring approximately 10ft X 40ft, the mural was first displayed at the 11th Exhibition of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society at the Royal Academy in the autumn of 1916.

It depicts an academic procession and the conferring of a degree on an ‘unknown soldier' undergraduate by the then Chancellor of Cambridge University.

Presented to the University of Southampton in 1959, by the artist's son, Sir John Rothenstein, the work represents a unique piece of art history. It features many key academics from the era of the Great War, including Vice-Chancellors and Chancellors, and the Poet Laureate Robert Bridges.
In his book "Men and Memories", Sir William Rothenstein told how the idea for the mural came to him. He called it "The New Chivalry":

"I happened to be at Oxford where I witnessed the conferring of degrees . . . The sight of a number of youths, booted and spurred, with their gowns over their khaki, kneeling before the Chancellor to receive their degrees, put me in mind of the age of chivalry, so touching and beautiful were these young figures; and I thought what a fine subject for a memorial painting this would make . . . I therefore painted a group of representative figures, Vice-Chancellors, scholars and men of science surrounding a Chancellor conferring a degree upon a young soldier."

The mural currently hangs in the Senate Room of the University of Southampton.

Unfortunately certain ignorant people don't like it, because it shows white people.

Step forward Emily Dawes President of the Union:

Mark my words - we're taking down the mural of white men in the uni Senate room, even if I have to paint over it myself

Educashun - Less is More!

In an age where every academic institution is called a "university" and every person leaving school is expected to have a "degree" in order to flip burgers, don't be surprised that student debt is so high.

For why?

They have to pay for yacht owning vice chancellors, as per the FT:

"Prof Holmes, vice-chancellor of the University of Bolton, who drives a vintage Bentley Continental, also has a 30ft yacht moored on Windermere and believes academics should not hide their wealth. 

“I have had a very successful career. I hope students use their education to get a good job and then they can have a Bentley. Do you want to be taught by someone who is successful or a failure?” he said. 

Prof Holmes’ taste for luxury is partly funded through an inheritance from his father, a property developer, but he also earned £222,120 in 2016, up from £202,500 the year before."

I am so old that I remember a time when there weren't so many universities, nor students and zero student debt (apart from the debt between parent and student!); because there weren't university fees, and students were awarded a means tested grant.

Less is more!

Oxford's New Portraits

Oxford University is revealing the identities of more than 20 people whose portraits will be put on display to try to "promote greater diversity".

It wants to redress the balance from the university's walls being lined with pictures of "dead white males" by adding more women and ethnic minorities.

Nothing wrong with that, and all perfectly laudable. However, couldn't they have found an ex alumni a little more inspiring than Esther Rantzen?

Prats of The Week - Cardiff Metropolitan University

Kudos to Cardiff Metropolitan University for winning Prats of The Week for their Orwellian diktat banning phrases such as “right-hand man” and “gentleman’s agreement” in favour of more inclusive, gender neutral language. 

Cardiff Metropolitan University’s revised code of practice states more appropriate terms should be used where possible, adding that students should not allow their “cultural background” to affect their choice of words on campus.

“Forefathers”, “mankind” and “sportsmanship” are also on the list of 34 words and phrases to be avoided as part of efforts to “embrace cultural diversity” by the university.

The Independent lists the banned phrases:

Cardiff Metropolitan University's Guide to Inclusive Language:

The Dangers of Caffeine

As per the Telegraph, commiserations to the two students were nearly killed after they were given enough caffeine for 300 cups of coffee during a botched science experiment.

Northumbria University has been fined £400,000 for the incident in March 2015 which caused Alex Rossetto and Luke Parkin to be rushed to hospital and put on dialysis.

The pair had volunteered to take part in a test aiming to measure the effect of caffeine on exercise, but a basic calculation error meant the second-year students were given 100 times the correct dosage.

Prosecutor Adam Farrer told Newcastle Crown Court that the pair should have been given 0.3g of caffeine in the orange juice mix, but were in fact given 30g.

There is 0.1g in the average cup of coffee.

Newcastle Crown Court heard the calculation had been done on a mobile phone, the decimal point being put in the wrong place and there being no risk assessment for the test.

Given all the health and safety/risk BS we are force fed every day, I am more than "puzzled" as to how an institution of academic excellence managed not only to put the decimal point in the wrong place, but also didn't think to apply common sense wrt the dosage before giving it to the hapless students!

Will Nanny ban caffeine then, given that it is clearly dangerous?

Snowflake Alert - The Oncoming Madness

Nanny is reforming how universities are ranked via the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), whereby universities will be awarded gold, silver or bronze medals on the basis of a range of factors including student satisfaction, teaching excellence and preparation for the world of work.

Universities are currently ranked based on quality of research output.

This will pressurise universities to pander to the demands of "snowflake" students, and universities will give in to student demands, however unreasonable they may be.

As we have seen, "safe space" and "no platform" movements have swept across campuses including a campaign to ban Germaine Greer from giving a speech over her "offensive" comments.

Baroness Wolf, a professor at King’s College London (KCL), is quoted by the Telegraph:

“Universities are increasingly nervous about doing anything that will create overt dissatisfaction among students because they are being told that student satisfaction is key.

It has had a real effect on the willingness of universities to stand up to student demands which in the past have been removing statues, safe spaces and no-platforming. This whole movement is a direct threat to academic standards and the ability of universities to stand up for freedom of speech.

The student satisfaction measure is fantastically dangerous. The way to make students happy is not asking them to do any work and giving them a high grade.

This whole movement is a direct threat to academic standards and the ability of universities to stand up for freedom of speech.


This will reduce standards and undermine quality.  I just think this is totally mad, and destructive of everything universities stand for.”

This will end in tears!

City University Students' Union Displays Complete Knobheadery

Kudos to the students’ union of City University in London for displaying knobheadery beyond belief.

It transpires that the union does not like The Sun, Daily Mail and Express newspapers.

As such the union has decreed that these titles be banned from the campus.

Disregarding the fact that we live in a "freeish" country, where we have the right to read the newspaper of our choice, the students have also made a rather fundamental error wrt their ban?

Can you guess what that is children?

Yes, that's right, there are no retail outlets for newspapers on the campus!

Knobheads!

Ironically City University has one of the biggest journalism departments in the UK with a variety of post graduate and undergraduate journalism courses available.

They might care to remember what Heinrich Heine once wrote:

"Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people."

Nanny Tries To Ban The National Anthem

Oh dear I see some student Nanny from Kings College London has got his knickers in a twist over our 250 year old national anthem.

Mahamed Abdullahi, the vice president for welfare and community at King’s College London, has called for it to be immediately axed from official services at the university because it was “outdated” and “just a bit shit”.

Fellow students wrote to Abdullahi suggesting that he “respect the traditions of the university and the country in which we study”.

In a post on social media, Abdullahi quoted by the Telegraph said:

“Hey guys, I want to get rid of the national anthem at graduation because it’s outdated and not reflective of the ‘global’ values that the college espouses.

In the context of increasing far Right nationalism across Europe and the legacy of the British empire, it’s just a bit shit and it doesn’t even bang. Basically, fuck the nation state.”

James Findon, created an online petition in response to Abdullahi’s post.

“We, the undersigned, believe that the National Anthem should stay as an important tradition at our graduation ceremonies.” 

It was quickly backed by hundreds of signatures on Sunday afternoon.

Nice to see that not every student is infected with pcitis!

That said, I personally prefer Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory. However, I suspect the university might find those songs a wee bit "dated".

Nanny Bans Aida

Oh dear, I see that student Nanny has got her knickers in a twist over Verdi's opera Aida.

A Bristol University student production of the opera was cancelled amid a row over suggestions of “cultural appropriation”. Seemingly there were protests amid fears that white students would be cast as leads, and expected to portray Ancient Egyptians and slaves.

All very noble and "aware" of the students maybe. However, how many ancient Egyptian opera singers are studying at Bristol?

Surely the absence of ancient Egyptian student opera singers means that the parts will have to be taken by non ancient Egyptians?

Unsurprisingly people think that this decision is laughable bollocks.

Rupert Christiansen, the Telegraph opera critic, said:

“Where will the mealy-mouthed nonsense peddled by ideologues in Bristol stop? If something doesn’t laugh it to extinction, Verdi’s entire oeuvre could fall under the axe.”

Students can be remarkably intolerant and closed minded!

Brighton University Sugar Tax

I see that Brighton, once again, hits the headlines for being "ahead of the curve" for Nannying.

Nanny's chums at Brighton University have decided that sugar is evil, as such a 10p levy on sugary drinks sold by university outlets is being imposed.

Suffice to say the levy at the University of Brighton won the backing of Saint Jamie of Oliver, as well as the students’ union’s own officers.

However, the students themselves are less than impressed.

Jeremy Gale (Brighton Students Against Sugar Tax) is quoted by the Telegraph:

"A regressive and punitive levy that will hurt the poorest students the most.

The University’s income has flourished despite a reduction in grants and a reliance on student fees. Why, then, doesn’t the University re-invest a small percentage of their bulging surplus into food education and healthy eating initiatives, rather than relying on a regressive and punitive levy that will hurt the poorest students the most?"

The University of Brighton is having none of it:

"Public Health England advise that we should all cut down on the consumption of sugary drinks, which offer little or no nutritional benefit. The Government has decided to implement a sugar tax from 2018.

Our 'Sugar Smart' campaign forms part of a broader programme to promote healthy eating and lifestyles amongst our students. This includes adding additional low and no-sugar products to the existing range that we make available and providing cooking and nutrition advice and education. Students will still have a choice over what they consume.

All of the money raised via the levy will be reinvested alongside other resources in the wider healthy eating programme. Discussions on this have been going on for over eight months. We have had positive feedback from students, the Students' Union and staff who are keen to work with us on the campaign."

A waste of time, as students will simply buy their sugared fizzy water from non university outlets!
