Left-Wing Education?
Left-Wing Education?
Again last month we were treated to nonsense from the politically correct at Cambridge University  when students had complained about being served  “Jamaican stew” and “Tunisian rice” claiming that the cultures were being “misrepresented”.

There is also a growing likeness for the choice of “gender-neutral” terms. This means banning phrases such as “right-hand man” and “gentleman’s agreement”. Cardiff Metropolitan University’s guidance dictates that students should not allow their “cultural background” to affect their choice of words.  Terms such as “forefathers”, “mankind” and “sportsmanship” should be avoided, as part of efforts to “embrace cultural diversity” through language.

An example of the campaign to smear British engineers and inventors from our not too distant past came from the utterances of a leftist immigrant origin MP with the backing of a University lecturer.

It came to a head when a new luxury apartment block in Wandsworth, South London, was named after Sir Alliott Verdon Roe. He was the first Englishman to make a successful powered flight in Britain. He built his first biplane in a stable at Wandsworth, where the new apartments now stand.  Later he founded A.V.Roe Aircraft Company, which then became Avro, the company that designed and built the Lancaster bomber that played no small part in achieving our survival in World War II. Two of Verdon Roe’s sons were killed in action in the war while serving in the RAF.

But all this contribution to the survival of our nation is dismissed by unspeakable leftists of today. Why?   Verdon Roe shared some of the views of a First War I  one-time flyer, Sir Oswald Mosley, and Verdon Roe became a member of his British Union of Fascists in 1934.

All this is not to the liking of Tooting MP Rosena  Aclin-Khan who has asked for the Wandsworth apartment block to be renamed.  She said: “In Wandsworth we pride ourselves on having a cohesive community where everyone is welcome. It would send the wrong message at a time when hate crimes have risen.”

Dr Steven Woodridge, Senior Lecturer in history at Kingston University quickly gave her his full support:   “Even during the Second World War he was contributing articles to the publications of extreme Right parties.”   Name these publications, you loathsome Marxist creep, they probably did not exist in those war years. Perhaps you are after a knighthood.
This article did get a response:
"Far Left's Academic Takeover!

Very well said. The disparate nature of these various Academia conditioned Liberal groups joining together as ”one” is an absurd display that is both laughable and disturbing.

Transexuals, Lesbians and Homosexuals waving signs such as ”Muslims and Gays Unite”…Feminists carrying placards of women wearing a Stars and Stripes Hijab…Some even shouting Alu Akhbar. Pathetic.

Then you have the Anti White ”Black Lives Matter” hate group being championed by ethno-masochistic White liberals. ”Refugees Welcome, No Borders” All idealistic piffle.

In reality what you see is a histrionic show of trying to reconcile what is in reality irreconcilable, all in the name of ”tolerance” …And incompatible as these various causes are, the doctrine of Liberals is hence shown to be one of absolutely no substance :Affectation, Affectation, Affectation. Virtue Signalling. All show and no go.

John Shaw ( Party Official ) Great points , JJM. In Holland the Gay fraternity , to the total confusion of the media , support Gert Wilders and his party ! This is because they have read the QORAN and KNOW WHAT THE ISLAMIST’S SAY THEY WILL DO TO THEM ! ANY lgbt types who protest in favour of Islam are like ‘ TURKEYS VOTING FOR CHRISTMAS ‘. Useful Idiots , or as Asians say , DHIMMI’s INDEED !
