    The first question, about the benefit of independent companies, was a bit obscure, but in general I'm sick to death of the social media whingers after every fucking GCSE exam. Get on with it you twats.

    'Disrupting whiteness'. Boot the cunt out of the country immediately.

    That article includes the revelation that the wanker who was trying to get rid of a Cecil Rhodes statue because having to walk past it as a black man 'constituted violence' was only at Oxford in the first place because he was a recipient of the fucking Rhodes Scholarship. Hopefully one of those Britain First wankers murders him as a campaign strategy.

    The reaction is even worse.

    Following the incident hundreds of well-wishers donated money to Ms Schultz to cover the tip Mr Qwabe refused to pay because she was white.
    Miss Schultz’s friends said earlier this month that she had already been feeling low as her mother has cancer.
    One said: ‘She has a very sick mother she cares for, and had to move flat recently and is worried about all of this. She did burst into tears because she is having a tough time at present

    That Rhodes guy is a proper wanker. He's not an EU citizen either, so presumably we can revoke his visa and throw him out.

    That'd only give him more stuff to (rightly in this case) rant about.

    Just let him keep making a tit of himself.

    Just found out the two queers we bullied in high school for being gay turned out to be actually gay. Not with each other, though I suspect that was the initial path they went down. Good stuff.

    He'd be on a student visa, so if the university threw him off the scholarship then his visa would be redundant irregardless.

    You could instead support someone on this scholarship who isn't what would appear to be a publicly-declared and open racist.

    The point was that if he was kicked out of the country/university, he would 'rightly rant about it.'

    He's on a scholarship programme, which his actions would appear to be in breach of. If he was thrown out, which would be quite right if he's agreed to abide by certain behavioural standards and hasn't, then that would be tough shit.

    The Rhodes scholarship, which he is on, specifically cites:

    - literary and scholastic attainments
    - energy to use one's talents to the full
    - truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship
    - moral force of character and instincts to lead, and to take an interest in one's fellow beings.

    Three and four would appear to be the relevant standards.

    This is all because the college acted like such fannies over the statue and gave it a load of publicity. They should have just told them to get fucked, since it appears to have died down since they caved in over a potential loss of donations.

    I don't understand why these institutions pander to the students. They appear to live in some sort of bubble where being perpetually outraged is PRINCIPLED and IMPORTANT. There was a lad running for Stormont here whose credentials were apparently bolstered by participating in a sit-in in the student union.

    You'd think they should be too busy actually, you know, studying to get involved in this sort of shite.

    The whole thing was pretty lol. I agree they should have just told them to fuck off. They did that in the end (turns out money is boss) and it worked, so they should have just started there. Just like Harvard telling the 'divest in fossil fuels' crew to fuck off right away.

    Mostly they're trying (and failing miserably) to avoid bad publicity. It is all about THE BRAND these days, things such as principles matter none.

    Those things you listed were selection criteria. They're not going to kick you off the course if you've met them in your application but are a bit of a gobby twat spouting shite when you're there.

    It's like Floyd's rules of refereeing, which should just go for anybody doing any kind of officiating over anything. They will always take the most cowardly decision, but they do so with the short-term in mind, hoping that it will just go away; but eventually financial considerations become a factor, and their reasonable concessions to those are now framed by their earlier cowardice as being pathetic.

    Selection criteria which, one assumes, you're expected to at least show some deference to whilst you're there.

    They probably won't kick him off, given they are absent bollocks, but you shouldn't really be apologising for the sort of shite he was spouting.

    I wasn't apologising for it.

    I said if he was kicked out of the country, he could rightly complain about that. But he'd just end up with an even bigger platform for his crap then. You're better off just allowing him to continue to make himself look like a fool.

    Fair enough.

    Anyway, he wouldn't be kicked out because of it - rather losing his scholarship would lead to the revocation of his student visa and thus his having no right to stay in the country. Not that it matters because, as we've covered, the university have previously demonstrated a point-blank reluctance to actually show some bollocks. Presumably they might consider doing something if donations were adversely affected. Top, top principles.

    Those glass vases full of beads are actually decanters.

    I'm sure this could have been done with the modern desire for slate tableware as well. £50 for a roof tile?

    What is "peak notions"?

    The Celtic Tiger boom brought about notions where everything and anything was about showing what money you had and what money you could waste. These days are returning, we don't wear having money well.
