What on Earth is going on here. Mad woke behaviour in my book.

“A university student has been banned from Aberdeen University's union for two weeks after sayng 'Rule Britannia' during a debate on the British Army

Elizabeth Heverin, 19, received the ban after quoting the historic anthem prompted another student to complain.”

Let's forget your personal views on Chris for a second.

Is this a good thing? Just 3 days ago everyone was arguing for the right to freedom of expression.

Whether saying Rule Brittania in this instance as right or wrong (I don'tknow the context), surely those same people supporting freedom of expression for the Clapham protestors must support it in this instance too?

Clapham protestors - trying to make a point about the murder of a woman at what looks like the hands of a serving policeman

Aberdeen - one eejet trying torile up the crowd

Do you know the context in which this student said this? Or are you just saying that's how it was without actually being part of the discussion?

'Writing to her afterwards, AUSA said it could not determine whether she made the comment with racist intent.'

Are we now advocating the guilty without proof verdict?

It was written during an online debate about the British Army being allowed to recruit on the Campus. Why would the student in question feel the need to say ‘Rule Britannia ‘ during this debate

So ignoring the OPs tendency to fall apart as soon as anyone is alert to injustice and racism. Yet claims to be alert to this alleged injustice.

What can we tell. This story is standard Daily Mail outrage. Before the paper was known for spreading hate, it was more known for this kind of "outrage" type story.

What we can see from this article is, we have one side of the story. And we actually have no idea why she has been suspended for two weeks until the university makes a statement.

What we can also tell is that the OP has believed every word of the Daily Mail without question. And has made the leap to thinking Rule Britannia has been banned. Which of course, is not the case.

As I've said no one knows the context. They stated they cannot prove it but banned her anyway.

Is that ok?

Yet without knowing. It's fine to condemn a university, and to make ridiculous claims like "rule Britannia banned"?

What I take from this is that people who don't like Chris will automatically jump to their own conclusions without knowing both sides of the story.

He is simply presenting that one side. Wrong maybe, but why can't people counter it with the other side rather than ridicule what may actually be true.

We know that daily mail can be taken with a pinch of salt and print sensationalist article but that doesn't make them false.

I haven't condemned them. I've stated if those who support freedom of expression, actually only do so when it suits

Okay so, let's just put it out there. Regarding the OP. He clearly creates two characters/personas and posts up these things for a laugh.

One is the pro brexit Alan partridge kind of character. Which I like. The lobster eating, confused about brexit guy.

And this "anti-woke" character, which is sinister and not funny at all. Personally I don't think it's funny to try to ridicule people for standing up to racism and be bigotry.

Now as for this thread. This is a non story until we know what's happened. The only talking point is the OPs Alf Garnet persona, believing the daily mail outrage.

Ok. I'll accept your view of the context.

The fact remains that they didn't find that she said anything racially motivated so why is she banned?

As I've said already, I'm questioning her right to freedom of expression

last I checkd, universities are not military institutions, so the comment about a british uni seems a bit moot

We don't know yet.

So there are two options.

1. Wait until the university release a statement.

2. Believe the daily mail without question. And accuse people of being "woke".

Every British uni has links to the army by way of having an officers training unit. Every year one or more uni students union bans the OTC from Freshers Day. Every year since 1066 the OTC system is over supplied with recruits. No worries!

Are we not allowed to critique at all?

The claims made by the OP are ridiculous, and are based on the Daily Mail story which is based on a half truth at best.

There's nothing to counter yet because we don't know what happened. The only thing we know is, the daily mail is outraged.

Why not ask them ,is it now illegal to say rule Britannia? i cannot believe people are not actually defending freedom of speech.

So ignoring the OPs tendency to fall apart as soon as anyone is alert to injustice and racism. Yet claims to be alert to this alleged injustice.

What can we tell. This story is standard Daily Mail outrage. Before the paper was known for spreading hate, it was more known for this kind of "outrage" type story.

What we can see from this article is, we have one side of the story. And we actually have no idea why she has been suspended for two weeks until the university makes a statement.

What we can also tell is that the OP has believed every word of the Daily Mail without question. And has made the leap to thinking Rule Britannia has been banned. Which of course, is not the case.

What I take from this is that people who don't like Chris will automatically jump to their own conclusions without knowing both sides of the story.

He is simply presenting that one side. Wrong maybe, but why can't people counter it with the other side rather than ridicule what may actually be true.

We know that daily mail can be taken with a pinch of salt and print sensationalist article but that doesn't make them false.

Okay so, let's just put it out there. Regarding the OP. He clearly creates two characters/personas and posts up these things for a laugh.

One is the pro brexit Alan partridge kind of character. Which I like. The lobster eating, confused about brexit guy.

And this "anti-woke" character, which is sinister and not funny at all. Personally I don't think it's funny to try to ridicule people for standing up to racism and be bigotry.

Now as for this thread. This is a non story until we know what's happened. The only talking point is the OPs Alf Garnet persona, believing the daily mail outrage.

I think you guys are missing the point. No one is not defending free speech. We're just saying that so far, the only thing we know, is that the daily mail is outraged by a half story.

If we all freaked out based on half a story from the daily mail, everytime they printed something like this, we'd all lose our minds.

The first "we" was the people being attacked for pointing out that so far, this is a non story until we know the facts.

The second "we" was the entire country. IE, can you imagine if we all freaked out everytime the Daily Mail printed one of their outrage stories. IE this was a light hearted comment.

Any other "we"s I missed?

So where is the boundary between government power and citizens rights?

It would appear to me we have the same suspects criticising the OP just because he used a link from the Daily Mail.

In your world if it's in the Mail it's not true.

However as the report was first reported in the Telegraph it just shows how these usual suspects have a very narrowed view.

I await all the back tracking and the forthcoming attacks on the Telegraph next by the same usual suspects.

Personally if a student at a Scottish uni now cannot quote a line written by a famous Scottish person during a debate there is a serious problem at that University.

Personally if a student at a Scottish uni now cannot quote a line written by a famous Scottish person during a debate there is a serious problem at that University.

so if a student starts shouting out quotes from Kier Hardy, in the middle of a debate, thats freespeach as well, and should be protected?"

Why wouldn't someone be allowed to quote Kier Hardie?

Quite funny that you think the Telegraph is some bastion of integrity that will have everyone scrambling to back track.

The 'universities are full of crazy woke students!' narrative is constantly and eagerly pushed by the right, it's not some fringe position.

Maybe waiting to hear both sides of the story would be wise.

the problem is the daily mail, they look for outrage, to create anger, hurt.

they've seized on a minor incident and tried to stoke the culture war flames

"Let's forget your personal views on Chris for a second.

Is this a good thing? Just 3 days ago everyone was arguing for the right to freedom of expression.

Whether saying Rule Brittania in this instance as right or wrong (I don'tknow the context), surely those same people supporting freedom of expression for the Clapham protestors must support it in this instance too?

So ignoring the OPs tendency to fall apart as soon as anyone is alert to injustice and racism. Yet claims to be alert to this alleged injustice.

What can we tell. This story is standard Daily Mail outrage. Before the paper was known for spreading hate, it was more known for this kind of "outrage" type story.

What we can see from this article is, we have one side of the story. And we actually have no idea why she has been suspended for two weeks until the university makes a statement.

What we can also tell is that the OP has believed every word of the Daily Mail without question. And has made the leap to thinking Rule Britannia has been banned. Which of course, is not the case."

Unless I've misread the OP he never states or implies that Rule Britannia is banned but rather said that a 19 year old was banned for two weeks for shout it.

I'm struggling to see how you leap to your conclusion?

What I take from this is that people who don't like Chris will automatically jump to their own conclusions without knowing both sides of the story.

He is simply presenting that one side. Wrong maybe, but why can't people counter it with the other side rather than ridicule what may actually be true.

We know that daily mail can be taken with a pinch of salt and print sensationalist article but that doesn't make them false."

because it’s all about point scoring and by the way what the fuck is wrong with rule britania am I missing something ?

Shouting out? No that would be rude. No suggestion this student did anything except write Rule Britannia, so yes you can write any quote you like no problem. I like a bit of Keir Hardie.

The legal limitation would obviously be incitement etc

Do you know the context in which this student said this? Or are you just saying that's how it was without actually being part of the discussion?

It was written during an online debate about the British Army being allowed to recruit on the Campus. Why would the student in question feel the need to say ‘Rule Britannia ‘ during this debate Why not ask them ,is it now illegal to say rule Britannia? i cannot believe people are not actually defending freedom of speech."

They do but the trend is only if it suits their narrative and that now seems to be the accepted universal freedom of speech.

You haven't given any context. You don't know how or why it was said. You're guessing

It was written during an online debate about the British army being allowed to recruit on the campus it followed the line : 'If the British military makes them feel uncomfortable, why did they come to a British uni?' There is your context "

why would the British military make anyone feel uncomfortable while recruiting tho I don’t get it ?

Reading the Mirror article, there were people in the discussion from places with a past as part of an empire. I don't find the Armed Forces intimidating - I've served myself - but I can understand why some people might not like seeing people in uniform in what is their temporary home. Some of those students will also have grown up in places with civil war etc.

Reading the article, the SU appear to have used a sledgehammer to crack a nut but the headlines are clearly clickbait for flag-shaggers.

The right wing are mad to cancel anyone who says anything these days. Now they're trying to cancel a whole university, based on speculation of what someone might have said, without waiting to hear what actually happened.

The best thing to come out of this tired, sad little thread, is the term flag shaggers. Sums our little englanders faux outrage, snowflake, anti woke brigade up nicely.

Your acting like a snowflake , just because a student got banned from a student union

No one has banned the phrase. So why are you outraged by something that hasn't happened?

The term flag shaggers is one the SNP supporters use to describe the ridiculous orange men parades and those who take part. It's spot on ??

"a person was ejected from an organised debate for heckling as heckling is disallowed .... seems a bit of RW culture warrior drama queenery going on over the selfish actions of a rude person

Indeed, the fake moral outrage and snowflakery has been noted

She did not heckle according to the article, that's rubbish.

She wrote the words during an online debate which were screenshot and reported afterwards.

This subject is entirely about freedom of speech nothing to do with rude behaviour. As I'm sure you're aware. "

No one has banned the phrase. So why are you outraged by something that hasn't happened?"

If you can keep people angry about things that haven't happened it distracts their attention from things that really are happening. Like the removal of the right to peaceful protests, or the Foreign Secretary deciding that human rights shouldn't be a barrier to trade, or spunking £2m on a Russian built flatpack vanity project.

Thats not exactly true is it...

Everyone still has the right to peaceful protest, do so if you wish ... just as long as it doesn't disrupt those around you.

Any protest causes some form of disruption.

If you're comfortable losing the right to public protest, fair enough. But we now join:

Egypt

China

Russia

North Korea

Iran

Myanmar

Where protests can be legally restricted.

Still, let's concentrate on the main issue at hand. Someone was banned from the student union in Aberdeen, for an as yet unconfirmed reason.

"Let's forget your personal views on Chris for a second.

Is this a good thing? Just 3 days ago everyone was arguing for the right to freedom of expression.

Whether saying Rule Brittania in this instance as right or wrong (I don'tknow the context), surely those same people supporting freedom of expression for the Clapham protestors must support it in this instance too?

Clapham protestors - trying to make a point about the murder of a woman at what looks like the hands of a serving policeman

Aberdeen - one eejet trying torile up the crowd

comparable?

Do you know the context in which this student said this? Or are you just saying that's how it was without actually being part of the discussion?

It was written during an online debate about the British Army being allowed to recruit on the Campus. Why would the student in question feel the need to say ‘Rule Britannia ‘ during this debate Why not ask them ,is it now illegal to say rule Britannia? i cannot believe people are not actually defending freedom of speech.

They do but the trend is only if it suits their narrative and that now seems to be the accepted universal freedom of speech.

What is your own personal definition of ‘freedom of speech’? "

How is that my definition? Can you deny this is not the way 'freedom of speech' is going with all the latest activities and jobs lost due to speaking out against the earlier aptly described 'ashleep' narrative?

One out of line comment today hangs someone and the many years of good work is overlooked, silencing anyone who may disagree with fear.

The words haven’t been banned, just some random student decided to write it during a debate about the British army being at Aberdeen University breaking its online debating rules, it is a none story that had triggered the right wingers who read the daily mail

The union told her she had breached three parts of a bylaw, including rules against offending others, using "foul and abusive language", and engaging in discriminatory or anti-social behaviour".

Exactly, she obviously deserved her ban

Saying Rule Brittania break those 3 bylaws?

Do you have the full text of what was said? "

Nope. However, if the union won't give their side of the story then what are we to believe? The Mirror have asked them.

"the ridiculous right will be cancelling education altogether next ... their culture paranoia is getting more extreme.

They have started already with opting out of Erasmus

and officially cancelling any left thought in primary and secondry education .... but then the conservatives have noticably dropped thier stalinist ideology card since the last election

They've effectively cancelled peaceful protest as of yesterday.

Thats not exactly true is it...

Everyone still has the right to peaceful protest, do so if you wish ... just as long as it doesn't disrupt those around you.

Perfectly reasonable

Any protest causes some form of disruption.

If you're comfortable losing the right to public protest, fair enough. But we now join:

Egypt

China

Russia

North Korea

Iran

Myanmar

Where protests can be legally restricted.

Still, let's concentrate on the main issue at hand. Someone was banned from the student union in Aberdeen, for an as yet unconfirmed reason.

For writing the words Rule Britannia during an online debate is the reason.

I know this because it says it in the story.

So this story is fact, there is no other side to this, no other possible reason?

Don't want to wait for a statement from the university SU?

I would have a look at the type of things she has been posting on social media , it is a miracle she is allowed to stay at any university.

Loads of people have, there are offensive tweets, Tik Tok videos, she is obviously stupid because her ‘5 minutes of fame’ will definitely mean that she will be thrown out of university .

So what's the moral of the story here?

1. Jump straight to conclusions before knowing the facts, because facts don't matter.

2. Inflate the importance of the story 100 fold, claim that words and songs have been cancelled.

3. Accuse everyone of "cancel culture", say "woke" lots, and throw in a few "snowflake" for good measure.

4. Put 100% faith in the Daily Mail that they did all the necessary research before publishing the story.

There's a 2 min interview of her on Talk Radio this afternoon where obviously they take everything she says as gospel. She offers to read out the email from the SU and obviously the host says yes. As she's reading something flicks into life in her brain, and she starts mentally editing it as she reads as clearly bits of it will undermine her 5 minutes of fame.

I don't know who you include in the "left wing squad". But we've been pointing out all day how this is a non-story without all the facts.

If that's the case then she doesn't deserve to sit at the table anyway."

I mean, some of it was pretty horrific.

Someone had collated some of her stuff in screenshots. I assume all the worst bits.

"If you read: "19 year old banned from student union for saying 'Rule Britannia'" - and don't then think "is that the whole story - or am I being played here?" Then you're the reason these 'stories' are out there."

The screenshots I've seen of her account are vile.

Just look at trending topics and click on Rule Britannia, it's not hard. If you can't find it then you're avoiding it.

Did you miss the bit where I said I'm not on twitter? "

Can’t help you then

I voted to ban all students from the student union itself until I realised that the bar was run by the student union.

Of course I demanded a recount.

No, the outrage only manifests itself if they are told they can't sing it or say it.

Sing it or say it as much as you like, just maybe think about the company in which you are using it as the notion that Britannia may go and rule can offend some...

"What on Earth is going on here. Mad woke behaviour in my book.

“A university student has been banned from Aberdeen University's union for two weeks after sayng 'Rule Britannia' during a debate on the British Army

Elizabeth Heverin, 19, received the ban after quoting the historic anthem prompted another student to complain.”

Telegraph says she literally said rule britannia in response to having troops on campus, and they banned her lol fuck, we actually had to throw something at the speaker other than words!

So not just in the daily mail then by the sound of it. Have they said what they find so wrong with what was said? Is it deemed offensive?

The speaker was giving out info regards having troops on campus and she did a student type call out.. rule britannia...

Lol i stopped reading and moved on.... what is happening? Cant they say, shut up girl, I'm the one speaking? Guess they can't anymore lol so they ban them instead lol so progressive lol

What! That's what she got banned for?. If she shouted out something different would she still get the ban or just told to be quite"

Let's see what else is said tomorrow but thats seems to be issue. ... bizarre? But the world now is!

Nothing. No one apart from the girl who got banned from the student union said it had anything to do with the words "Rule Britannia".

This is a none story.

She broke the rules in a debate. Got banned for two weeks.

so ya can say rule Britannia then

Yes.

to be used with caution though..

.why

Because it causes outrage for the Daily Mail and its readers.

No, the outrage only manifests itself if they are told they can't sing it or say it.

Sing it or say it as much as you like, just maybe think about the company in which you are using it as the notion that Britannia may go and rule can offend some...

This whole thing is a huge non-story.

Click bait nonsense based on the word of someone who lied about why they were banned from the Student Union.

Who seemingly has a history of posting hate and bigotry on social media.

The story also works as a distraction from what's really going on in the news.

Whatever you think about the Daily Mail, their click bait and distraction tactics work. They're slick and we'll funded.

Love that little word seemingly

Seemingly a lot of snowflakes offended by Rule Britannia

Terrible really

A lot of snowflakes offended by a student being banned from a student Union debate "

Perhaps she should have shouted out rule the SNP or rule Labour as probably no action would have been taken. If it was taken I suspect we would hear a different tune here
