  1. Especially if that’s what they’ve been told.
  2. Brits giving up Amazon in response to Clarkson getting served the consequences of running his hate filled mouth. So it’s back to shopping in town and watching DVDs. Except the only thing left in town is charity shops and the DVD stores were amongst the fist to shut up shop.
  3. It’s a start. And Challenger 2 Tanks make something a little more substantial than a ‘splash’.
  4. That’s a perfect example of ‘resentment politics’ thanks for sharing.
  5. OK say you’ve found out some statistics. So what’s your aversion to some history?
  6. I’m sure you think a lot of things, many based on facts, however ‘Anti-white racism disguised under the euphemism social justice or African studies’ is not one of your fact based thoughts.
  7. The existence of an investigation is not evidence of a crime having been committed. However, that’s a fact FOX will only sometimes dwell on.
  8. It doesn’t involve ‘Critical Race Theory’ which is not taught in schools and is not a ‘racist, divisive topic’. All the rest of your comments stem from these first two misunderstandings of yours.
  9. Oh look ‘Cancel Culture’, and from a darling of the Rightwing.
  10. And yet myself and other Liberals responding in this thread have stated our support for the Professor and against the University Administration. So in this thread we have black and white evidence of Liberals objecting to the treatment of this professor, which you choose to ignore, and we have your references to some imaginary Liberals who you imagine might hold different views than the Liberals participating in this thread.
  11. Once again dreaming up your own definition of a liberal.
  12. It has all the hall marks of a private business trying to rid itself of a perceived problem. There are no indications that the actions of the university were motivated by any political ideology, left or right.
  13. I think it more correct to state the extreme rightwing and the extreme leftwing are essentially indistinguishable in their quest for authoritarian control. This is a true in the modern day as it has been in history. However, there is no indication of leftwing or rightwing ideology playing any part in the decision to dismiss the professor.
  14. The way you, and many on the rightwing choose to define the word. I absolutely understand the difference, which is why I call it out.
  15. You’ve just given an example of an attempt to hijacking the meaning of the word ‘Liberal’ by adding your own biased definition. You are surely having a laugh: ”Now, it [to be described as a Liberal ] generally revolves around shutting down free speech, cancelling opposition voices and being generally unpleasant to (and putting inaccurate labels on) anyone who disagrees with you. “ You’re accusations read an awful lot like confessions.
  16. You’ve linked the Daily Mail, a Blog and the Guardian. OFS Link?
  17. And yet you just labelled him a liberal. Perhaps returning to the topic of discussion rather than trying to wedge off topic subjects into the discussion might help you avoid such confusion. Liberals in this thread have made clear statements that they support the dismissed Professor. The Professor’s dismissal is not a product of any ‘left wing bias’.
  18. You should perhaps read up on his work and the views he has expressed.
  19. The Guardian correctly reporting the statements of Tory MP (rightwing) Gavin Williamson, demonstrating once again the rightwing engagement in their ‘woke ideology’ culture wars.
  20. Thomas Sowell (firmly on the rightwing) provides his explanation, not the explanation of an assertion that is not demonstrated to be true.
  21. Linked to the fired Professor showing a class artwork depicting the Prophet Mohammed how?
  22. I’m saying ‘woke ideology’ is a fabrication of rightwing culture wars. Opinions differ, which is why you’ve now switched from looking for back-up from a rightwing rag to a blog. The subject dismissal is clearly an over response to the fear mongering around Muslim sensibilities not at all linked to the rightwing culture war ‘woke ideology’ you are attempting to wedge into the discussion.
  23. What this news item demonstrates is the danger of ‘self censorship’, the University administrators have bought into the fear mongering around Muslim sensibilities and have fire the professor. Meanwhile American Muslim groups have spoken up in the Prof’s defense. The university is a private business, there are no First Amendment rights involved so the issue will be settled around the employment contract both the Professor and the University signed. I suspect an out of court settlement is the most likely outcome.
