Tory's now trying to control education

You replying to me ?

close them down, nothing good has come out of Britains universities for at least 50 years.

everything they say should be monitored, they cant be trusted.

leftgreen fascist propaganda all of it!

now if whatever they say to their students is so important they wont mind letting the rest of us know..now will they?

The reality of this.
Tory MP wants to get at the truth.
Lefties raging and want it kept covered up.

say it often enough some might believe you

torys against their whip

many of the lecturers are foreign, funded by the EU,
take a closer look at how impartial they are also

it's all available online or printed. It's not a f***ing secret at a clandestine meeting. it's a freeking lecture.
This is why this is such nonsense but sinister nonsense.

What part is incorrect Donny?

I don't believe that, of course it is possible to get the broad outline, even if you pay at some universities you can sit in at a lecture...but what is taught on a daily basis is not known

Put on some hipster clothes, sit in the lectures, tape them, publish a big national scoop, lfc. easy.

what part is correct ?

many of them are communists, Cambridge. Did we know what was going on there? certainly not.

the kids nowadays just enrol, get a debt, drink some beer, get a degree, there
is no need to attend lectures

lecture halls full of journalists and right wing forumites waiting for a scoop

everybody happy

So donny's defence is to say something ore than twice, never read something so stupid.

Tories are after votes, even you know how it works.

The left and the EU have infiltrated education, fair play to them. They are years ahead of the other parties.

But to deny it...........

At least at one time Cambridge produced things of worth such as great scientists and well as the traitors...
now what do we get but a useless rabble of silly leftist undergraduates

is it just a coincidence that the majority of learned people have centre/left leanings?

More nonsense from the Tory Lie Machine

really? who are these learned people please

Do you mean like Abbott northanlite?

presumably the ones indoctrinating our young people

Mention Tory and anxious appears like a bad smell  !!!

Want to see what's going on at our unis? After "decolonising" the English Lit course, the SJWs are moving onto others:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2017/10/25/cambridge-university-subjects-face-decolonisation-campaigns/
That seems to be behind a paywall today but wasn't yesterday?
Referenced here.

"NUS black students’ officer Ilyas Nagdee said that with a statue of imperialist Cecil Rhodes at Oxford, a building named after tobacco businessman Henry Overton Wills at Bristol, a Queen Victoria statue at Royal Holloway and a college named after Winston Churchill at Cambridge, ‘remnants of Britain’s imperial past continue to be celebrated without any context or challenge from the institutions which are meant to be Britain’s centres of critical thought’."

IMHO: If you don't want to see statues of Queen Victoria in Britain, then **** off to an other university, like say one in Cuba.

names please, who are these great British people that our  universities are producing?

Hear hear just checking !

Its very simple why universities should teach English literature.
It is because England has produced more great poets than any other country...and possibly every other country combined.

so if she doesn't understand that she should not be going to university.

Or is it here here...........if only I had attended one of these uni's

hear hear is crrect dan

Cheers donny

Likewise JC.
Our culture, and way of life, is constantly under attack.

I would want to appear ignorant in front of this lot, they can be so judgmental

Fxxk wouldn't !!!!!!!

such as? everyone knows McGonagall is the finest poet these islands have ever produced

Here I sit broken hearted came sh1t but only f@rted. Now that's poetry!

TBF practically everything the world gets benefit from originated in the UK. (Pre diversity)

like medcine and democracy ?

And freedom of speech which reminds me I'm off to bed to shout at Shami Chakrabarti on QT

don't bother donny. you can't argue with that sort of stupid

And what is wrong with a college named after Winston Churchill? Makes me so angry that people are against that.
The thing is this isn't a "new" thing,we've been reading about the hatred of free speech and left wing take over at unis for years now.

I threw that in cos I knew the lefty boys would disagree with it.

Appears they despise the UK and it's history.

you are confusing a tory whip abusing his power and contrasting with somebody who isnt a tory whip
who dislikes the idea of british colony being celebrated today

one is abusing office and the other is whistling in the wind until his utterances gain voice by being picked
up by right wing press

Did he try to hide the fact he'd written this letter?

More delusions of grandeur from the Tory Fanboys

72 posts of echo-chambering and virtue signalling, yet none of our usual leftie panelists have educational standards high enough to know that the `Tory`s` in the thread title should be `Tories`! Proof positive, I`m sure we can all agree, that these sorts really shouldn`t be left unattended. Sadly, but inevitably, all too indicative of how low  levels of achievement have plummeted under the last few decades of pc boll0x within the UK education establishment.

Don't violate their safe space!

i read it as tory is now trying

as in it was one tory

i think had it been tories, then it would have been tories are now trying

i might be wrong of course

Yet northanlite wrote this in his opening gambit:

Bullying tactics from weak & morally bankrupt government.

Which of course would have told you he meant Tories.

but i was aware it was one tory from a morally bankrupt government that was writting the letters

' often indicates possession, which is appropriate as I think a couple forumites have just been "owned" :)

what was your excuse akabula , for not correcting the title

Of course.

and your reason for not pointing it out just checking ...is ...

if you thought it was wrong ...

How people can defend such a despicable shower that calls itself a government is beyond most people

What you have in this country is the usual capitalist trick of pretending that equality of opportunity actually exists , no those who have the most money simply buy the best education for their kids and they then usually end up with better jobs, life - chances , etc , something called statistics usually prove this

they should spend some of their dosh buying a little honesty

yeah, don't violate their safe space by fostering debate and critical thought about a possible new relation to the colonial past and some of its figures. Allow them to look away, ignore it and stay comfortable in their safe spaces.

Uh oh the student union has emptied out and SJWs have keyboard access, time to log off :)

Ha ha says the supporters of Corbyn, Abbott and McDonnell.
Otherwise known as the enemy within.

exit just checking stage left. ( to safe space)

I think if people go to university they should only be allowed to read books of common sense, from which nothing at all can be learned.

Bastards!

i think you will find both are valid. Tory being singular Tory's being the plural as in belonging to a group, Tories being
the collective as in the party as a whole.
Trying to be a smart arse often backfires.

Is that so terrible ?

Bastards I mean *

Triple bastards!

good,  I prefer that sort of enemy.

Was Nino Tempo surgically enhanced?  Yes or no, you bastard's bastard?

Liar!

It was April Stevens.

But the game never ends when your whole world depends on the turn of a friendly card.

Nino Tempo??? that must be the first name check he's had this decade

Faster, faster - time is running out for you.  Who remembers the Quantock Eight now?

First we see the classic and risible tactic of the left, deflect to distract, employed by Comrade Osmond.
Then, and you`ve got to laugh at his imputant effrontery, we have an illiterate product of the Socialist system trying to give English lessons! I suggest Google, or perhaps you could find out what a `dictionary` is, and learn how to read it; then familiarise yourself with the rules of English grammar.

For the benefit of typical lefties, who want everything for nothing, with no concept of doing things for themselves preferring the Nanny State do it all for them, let me help you, you poor unfortunates;

Google `definition of Tory`s` and it asks; `did you mean Tories?`
Google `dictionary`, enter `Tory`s`, and confirmation comes; `no definitions found`.

Lefties, eh? Chortle!!!

You are all a great disappointment. Stop, think, try harder. The Chinese will eat us all. Soylent Red White and Blue (patent applied).

It started with a kiss.  Never thought it would come to this.

Oops! Chortling away, forgot to add that the word you are trying to pretend could be "Tory`s" should, of course, be "Tories`"
The very thought that ANY leftie could ever outsmart ANY good and right-thinking person is preposterous; anybody professing belief in such twaddle as Socialism is, by definition, not as bright as those who know it for the tosh that it is.

Are you struggling with the word "plural" it means denoting more than one, ie more than two. Try & keep up.
if you resort to semantics the rest of your argument must be weak

Chips - golden-brown, crisp, tasty, everything you aren't. Salt - hold the line!

Only want to see you under the purple rain. Purple rain, purple rain ...

good weed bodil?

Is that me baby, or a brilliant disguise?

Bruuuuuuuuuuce

My `argument` was over, last November; we won!

A gentle reminder, from http://wordinfo.info/unit/3777/s:and

In the study of origins, it was always better to be "right" than wrong, or even "left"!
Words associated with the right side are generally complimentary or have signified something desirable, but those pointing to the left are quite the opposite. For example, even in modern times, everyone tries to get up on the "right" side of the bed and hopes to stay on the "right" side of one's boss; that is, if the person is in his/her "right" mind.

Other languages reflect the same bias in favor of the right and against the left. In Latin, the word for "right" is dexter, from which has come the English word dexterous or dextrous; meaning "skillful". This is what a person who uses the "right" hand is expected to be.
An ambidextrous person should be even more skillful, since he is described as having two "right hands.
On the other hand, the Latin sinister is the left hand, that is, the wrong hand. Furthermore, left-handers were thought to be unlucky.
In Roman augury, or fortune telling, birds that appeared on the left side were interpreted as being bad luck; however, those on the right side presaged good luck. Now, in modern English applications, sinister means evil or ominous.
"Lefties" have not been regarded with a positive attitude even in French and Old English

The French word for "left" is gauche (GOHSH), which indicates awkwardness or lack of social graces. "A guest who drinks from the finger bowl, no matter how dexterously he handles it, is still gauche."

English also has favored the right over the left. The word "right" developed from Old English riht, which meant "to lead straight; to guide; to rule." Left evolved from Old English lyft, which meant "weak".
English prejudice against the left can be seen in such terms as "two left feet", meaning "awkward", and "left-handed compliment", which is not considered as a compliment!




And, from https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/39092/how-did-sinister-the-latin-word-for-left-handed-get-its-current-meaning


In the past, to be left-handed was considered touched by the Devil. As Wikipedia notes:

Historically, the left side, and subsequently left-handedness, was considered negative in many cultures. The Latin word sinistra originally meant "left" but took on meanings of "evil" or "unlucky" by the Classical Latin era, and this double meaning survives in European derivatives of Latin, and in the English word "sinister".

Meanings gradually developed from use of these terms in the ancient languages. In many modern European languages, including English, the word for the direction "right" also means "correct" or "proper", and also stands for authority and justice. In most Slavic languages the root prav is used in words carrying meanings of correctness or justice.
So, if you were left-handed or sinister, you were associated with evil



Summary?
`Right` = to be in the right, good, and proper
`Left` = wrong, unlucky and evil

All seems fairly obvious to me...

Dancing in the dark.

seek psychiatric help immediately

not you bodil, although........................................might help

I understand `plural` very well; so much so, that I`d already told you the plural would be "Tories`" Give it up, ffs; as with your politics, you`re wrong.

First we see the classic and risible tactic of the left, deflect to distract, employed by Comrade Osmond.
Then, and you`ve got to laugh at his imputant effrontery, we have an illiterate product of the Socialist system trying to give English lessons!

this was a thread about a tory whip trying to misuse his powers

the classic and risable deflecting is by timbuctooth in attempting to alter the direction of the thread.

The tory whip's had a 'mare.

OMG you cannot SERIOUSLY be continuing this argument and trying to suggest "Tory's" is a valid plural for Tory?

i never did, if you read my post

it's not difficult to understand

Why do you think I'm replying to you? Read the posts above you, it's not all about you. Do you just spend all day on here trying to troll people?
Jaysus...

maybe its because you posted after me, and did not specify who you were posting about.

no need for your abuse

libraries are all shutting down. they've sold all the books off. you can go on the web with your library latte and croissant.
in the media lab. try and get a book about something? maybe on ebay?

the lightbulbs take half an hour to come on, so no quick reading at night.

easier to learn ten years ago.

It's grim in Glasgow.

You could do some painting instead, Zoz. Helps to pass the time.

no need for your abuse

Quite right Donny, we all know that's your job.

Glasgow libraries full of colouring in books.

Have they been coloured in already?

I think the handing out of free crayons has been what has put them in financial difficulty.

That's Labour councils for you.

OP, you are fishing pal. seriously...
