Oxford students at it again

[kripton]

Apparently Oxford uni students have now voted to remove a picture of the Queen on the pretext that she represents oppression - not just a vote against the monarchy then! Don't they have anything better to do (such as working towards their degree or doing voluntary work)? - in my day you had to earn extra money ( e.g. by working in a bar) to fund your accommodation, fees etc

This country is getting beyond a joke..
Can you imagine this dis respect towards the head of state happening in say Russia, or USA or many other countries around the world...
We are being turned into a laughing stock

PS..... I'm so glad I'm old enough not to see the end of the road the country is going down

 

[ndt man]

What do you mean we are turning into a laughing stock? ( We Allready are) .

 

[Pedro]

So, what's the chance that Oxford University has been at least partially funded by slavery activities? 100% I'd say. Those so called students should put that in their spliffs and smoke it.

We have a strange outlook towards misfits, criminals, oddballs, trans what ever and feel the need to (help) their every needs, this makes our sad island a magnet for every wafe and stray in power boat distance (beam us up scotty)

Now I am more glad than ever that I left it 19 years ago, I felt I could see the writing on the wall back then (BANITBANITBANIT!!!). Other countries seem not to give the same weight to wokismismism as seems the case in the UK, has post colonial guilt caught up finally?.

It's far worse in the US. Here, we actually have a minister charged with combating woke-ism. In America under Biden, woke-ism is being written into law. Taking the knee will soon be compulsory over there.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! --- The students that is!

[bluesako]

yeah right, the only time i,d take a knee, is when im tying my bootlaces, they can go kiss my a**e, god save the queen

In the US, critical race theory is going onto the school curriculum. Biden intends to make it compulsory for American schools to teach white children that they are inherently racist because they are white

Biden Administration Prioritizes "Wokeism," Critical Race Theory In Schools | Kerry McDonald

On Monday, the US Department of Education indicated that it will be using taxpayer funds to award millions of dollars in American history and civics education grants that prioritize the belief that America is systemically racist.

So what happened to that plan of replacing the Cecil Rhodes statue with one of Robert Mugabe?

 

[Basil H]

If you read the story, it's in a private common room used by graduates. I don't like it but it's really none of my business.

They voted not to do it because it would cost to much I read.
Be interesting to see what they put up instead.
Funny how in the Queens time it was the correct thing to give countries their independence, now it’s Britain’s fault they created their own misery.

 

[JTO]

Do all the coloured people in the US honestly wish that slavery had never happened?

 

[Cranborne]

Blind ignorance. How many former colonies have gained independence since the Queen came to the thrown? The majority have then joined the Commonwealth, which has the Queen as it's head....doesn't look like she's viewed as an oppressor.

The Queen is the monarch of Great Britain. If you don't like it get out and live somewhere else! (And no doubt pay a lot more for a sub standard education in another country)

 

[Scapegoat]

Read beyond the headlines ffs


The postgraduate students at Magdalen College have voted to take down the print of HM from their common room. They bought it and put it up just a few years ago. It's their space, they can choose how to decorate it.
Once again a storm in a teacup reported in just such a way that the usual suspects will start frothing at the mouth and banging on about all sorts of completely unrelated BS!
