The following is presented, I presume, without irony:

Quote

Universities should be centres of open debate and stimulating exposure to diverse arguments, not giant “safe spaces” where views judged to be undesirable are driven underground. The government should make it clear to universities that this is what is expected of them. Universities should expose students to a diverse cross section of opinions. Academic staff should remain free to reflect their own political, religious and philosophical views in their teaching and other academic work. Concern arises, however, when the views of academic staff overwhelmingly lean in one direction, leading to impressionable young students concluding that this view is the only academically respectable one.

Steps should be taken to ensure that students engage with proponents of a wide spectrum of views. Bringing in academics from other institutions, or other thinkers, to debate publicly with university staff could be helpful in this regard. Where whole departments seem dedicated to a specific ideology, as might be the case with Gender Studies, for example, any form of public funding should be reconsidered. Another example is the Centre for Education for Racial Equality in Scotland, at Edinburgh University, that states: “We draw from a range of theorists such as Bourdieu, Marxism, Friere, Dewey, the Frankfurt and Chicago schools, critical race studies, feminist theory, post-colonial writings and queer theory.” Such ideological think tanks should not be funded as university departments (unless one wishes the taxpayer to fund far left divisive polemic about the “the Hideous Whiteness Of Brexit” and “how white supremacy has operated before and after the UK’s EU referendum”)

People should be free to criticise and mock any belief system without fear of state intervention.

The government should not intervene to censor news sources that deviate from the mainstream media narrative, labelling them as “fake news,” nor should they pressurise social media companies to manipulate access to different viewpoints, or ban or financially undermine political and social commentators that challenge the progressive establishment philosophy. The internet must remain a space for open debate. As the EU presses ahead with internet censorship, the UK and Scotland should defend freedom of expression instead.

We are supportive of the concept of a national broadcaster producing high-quality programmes, helping unify the nation around a common culture. However, the BBC’s ‘progressive’ bias renders it unfit to fulfil its function. News reporting tends to be one sided, often including stories that are obviously included to promote an idea such as transexualism and assisted suicide. The overwhelming cultural bias evident in other programming, including children’s, is even worse. The BBC’s influence skews national debate and leads to widely held and reasonable views being regarded as dangerous extremism. The BBC should begin to compete with other media companies on a level playing field. The licence fee should purchase access to BBC output, but not paying the fee should not restrict access to other TV.

Those who believe that changing sex is impossible and that changing gender is not the best way to respond to gender dysphoria should be free to articulate these beliefs.

The views that Same Sex Marriage is invalid and that homosexual sexual activity is immoral should be respected and those holding them should be free to express them and act on them without fear of discrimination.

What's the deal with the queen?

Like, I get some people could want a royal family I suppose, but why is the queen herself so popular when as far as I can see she traipses from one event to another with a face like a skelped arse and seems to hate every minute of it? Why does that provoke such warm feelings among so many people?

She's so massively lacking any charisma or character whatsoever. She seems hugely ungrateful for the wealth she's lived in all her life for doing nothing. She appears to be bored and can't be arsed with anyone.

Get her to f**k. She's a c**t. Get the monarchy to f**k. They're all c***s.

She's more inbred than a thoroughbred racehorse. No wonder her face looks like a Brussel Sprout and her descendants are thick as pigshit.

Monarchy is the ultimate case study in feeding the masses utter pish propaganda from day 1 of our shite little lives to control what we think for the rest of them. Any sane person would get them in the fucking sea. I guarantee if you go to the Daily Mail or Express or Guardian or Times website right now there will be about 10 articles about what toilet roll they wipe their fucking arses with. And it will be better than the shit paper you use, guaranteed. Know your fucking place.

If you were in your nineties and had spent your life travelling the world to meet gurning idiots who worshipped you you'd probably look miserable too.

A monarchy is like religion.  Any reasonably intelligent, rational person would dismiss the concept as totally irrational without a second thought were it not for its historic ‘validation’.

I'd happily retire the monarchy if there was a guarantee that it wouldn't get replaced with the likes of Tommy Robinson, Farage or Blair as President. Ireland seems to do ok though.

If the Queen follows her mother's lead, she'll support Forfar. That's not good, but at least she's not a Gable Endie

If Liz makes it to 100 we should nail her to a cross.

An elected head of state with no real powers is all that is needed.

Occasionally you'll hear the odd detail about her life and it sounds so utterly depressing. Eating dinner out of decades-old tupperware containers and watching her mother's old black-and-white portable. Maybe that's why so many folk like the miserable auld bat, as she makes an effort to be as unhappy as everyone else.

"Would you prefer President Salmond/Blair/Cameron, eh?" is the usual response you get from angry folk  :rolleyes:

It must be depressing spending your whole life surrounded by toadies.

For example, every time the Queen farts, somebody else says "excuse me" and pretends it was them.

And everyone assumes it was her when anyone farts.
