    Stirling, Steeped In Wokery! 


    Jane Austen dropped from university’s English course to ‘decolonise the curriculum’

    Stirling University is a relatively recent creation, 1960s, I believe, compared to those like St. Andrews and Glasgow….

    Stirling University

    .

    ….and Edinburgh, but Edinburgh’s recent rotten record of appeasement of gutter elements…

    …indicates that Stirling’s more modern origins are not the explanation for its self-degradation, namely booting Jane Austen…

    Never having heard of Ms. Morrison, I didn’t even know she’s dead, but if her writings were inspirational, I’d leave her merits out of it.

    Yet I’m a thorough fellow, even on a hot Javanese arvo….

    .

    …..

    ….so I looked her up.

    Wow!

    I HAD heard of her.

    Which Lives Matter? Not White, It Seems! 

    Even gave her a disparaging mention a few years ago!

    She got a medal from Obummer.

    And her scribbling reflected….

    ( unsurprisingly, considering from whom she received her medal!)

    ….her personal uptight race-obsession, as expressed when that poor cop was being hounded in Ferguson, Missouri..

    Get this –

    Morrison said: “People keep saying, ‘We need to have a conversation about race.’ This is the conversation. I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back

    Writers should be gifted with insight.

    Not incitement.

    .

    .

    Stirling students might just possibly be better off with the works of Austen, who was not, as far as I’m aware, into vengeful racist rhetoric.

    Nor did Austen win prizes due to racialised lobbying.

    ‘It was Beloved, her 1987 novel about a slave woman who kills her own baby, that secured her current standing. When it failed to win the National book award, 48 black writers signed a letter of protest published in the New York Times. Soon after, it won the Pulitzer prize and a clutch of other awards.

      Stirling never amounted to much as a university, though the town’s not bad.

    Which Lives Matter? Not White, It Seems! 


    Woke up to another sunny morning, which turned out to be almost arvo, a late-night movie having prevented me hitting the pit till 2.30am. So switched on the TV and thought I’d see what ‘even-handed’ hogwash was spilling out of the BBC today.

    BBC-bias-alert

    -\

    Their coverage of the crimmigrant crisis in Calais has been unpleasantly reminiscent of their declaration of neutrality when Britain went to war against Argie imperialism in 1982. Will the BBC EVER Be Pro-British? 

    This time round we’ve had more than enough of hearing illegal immigrants’ whining, despite everyone – including the sycophantic Beeb jerks interviewing the wannabe parasites – knowing full well that they are vile and violent law-breakers, bent on gate-crashing the UK’s internationally recognised borders.

    This morning, noon, to be precise, the BBC had the father of the Ferguson, Missouri shootee talking away. One felt genuinely sorry for him – no  parent ever wants to believe anything bad of a child.

    But what about the exonerated cop whose career was ruined?  

    ==========

    Who feels sorry for Darren Wilson?

    BBC’s All-American Anti-Cop Lynch-Mob – Round Two? 

    Not the BBC, for sure!

    Apparently this weekend in America many noisy ‘Black Lives Matter’ demos are planned. Will these be law-abiding events?The rotten racism behind the ‘protests’ we have seen in the last year or two in the USA were exemplified by that gutless buffoon O’Malley, noted in our previous post.

    Booed By Racist Mob For Saying “White Lives Matter,” Democrat U-Turns ASAP 

    Now we hear of a case of another young man, a young white man, named Hammond, shot by a cop while apparently un-armed.

    ——-

    obama-trayvon

    ———–

    Who knows if he was more or less anti-social than Trayvon Martin or the shootee in Ferguson? But whatever, Obama and the ranting racist whine-mobs are saying little about this death.

    The death of Hammond, who was 19, bears some strikingly similarities to the death of Samuel DuBose, a Cincinnati man who was shot by a police officer on July 19. In both cases, the two men were unarmed and the official police record, that said the suspects attempted to run officers over, has been called into question by conflicting sources.

    The difference in media attention thus far, however, is notable.   http://news.yahoo.com/why-unarmed-teen-killed-police-hasnt-led-national-194100058.html

    Obama, as one expects from a hypocrite who exploits racism, is as silent about Hammond, as he was when that poor girl died in San Fran Sanctuary  ‘She Doesn’t Look Like MY Daughters’ – The Silence of the Swine Obama! 

     But here’s an example of another posturing, though surely most venerable, creature, a ‘cleric’, who is far from silent…
     000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

    Minister Louis Farrakhan, the 82-year-old leader of the Nation of Islam

    =================

    preaching directly from the Quran before a packed Baptist church, no less, recently, a foul old fiend named Farrakhan, who’s been in the habit of urging murder as an inspiration to his flock.

    And no condemnation by Obama? Nor any action by police?

    None, it seems!

    Will Farrakhan be arrested for call to kill whites?

    What’s wrong with America?
    enemy-within
    But then what’s wrong all over Western civilisation, subversives, Fifth Columns and fanatics afforded all the rights that only loyal, decent citizens deserve, while more enemies of civilisation pour in unhindered.
    3c1b1-get_real_big

    It’s got to stop!

    And it won’t stop while Farrakhan goes un-arrested, nor while an arrogant loud-mouth like Nobel Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison says she wants to see an officer shoot an unarmed white teenager in the back before agreeing that the “conversation about race” is over…

    Obnoxious old cow!

    ————-

    Blood-thirsty Morrison with Manchurian Marxist – Two of a Kind!

    —————————

    That dumb bint is morally no better than Farrakhan. And her intellectual calibre can be measured by her use of the word ‘conversation‘ to describe what’s been happening in the USA.

    Conversation?

    Those rioting swine burning cop cars in Ferguson, gutting neighbourhoods in Baltimore (that Democrat ‘s  Booed By Racist Mob For Saying “White Lives Matter,” Democrat U-Turns ASAP  home state, BTW!)  are not interested in ‘conversations.’  

    =

    They’re no better than the crimmigrant savages in Calais!
