Well that's the conservative PM doing that Boris Johnson. I would wholeheartedly support anyone that defended themselves from arrest for this. Police must have basic morality to refuse orders like this. I dont care if they have to quit. If they will be fired. Enforcing something like that makes your life forfeit imo.

Didnt the NY Times pen an article arguing to do exactly that?

[goldfly]

I guess we finally have an answer to “who is they” now


Lol


You going a long with that quote is hilarious lol

I still cant get over that he has just randomly said " A friend told me I might be the most perfect person ever" during softball interviews.... more than once. Oh really, the guy who surrounds himself with sycophants had someone try to kiss his ass. What part of this is relevant to anything besides showing how oblivious he us to his own narcissism.





Could imagine Obama doing that. Go ahead. Imagine Obama during any interview just randomly throwing that line out there.

He’s a moron and a classic narcissist

"What surprised us was the fact that so many of the white faculty of the English department signed on — we were amazed. By the time we were ready to officially take it to the department as a whole, we had over 75 percent of the faculty signed on."

Lol, I'm surprised that they're surprised. Ivy League whites in a liberal arts department going on a woke off is the least surprising thing of all time.

To be fair if I was Irish or Scottish I would have trepidation taking a class in the English department. Maybe Anglic?

From "The English and Their History" by Michael Tombs:

It has been suggested, a little teasingly, that the inventor of the English was Pope Gregory the Great, in around 580--though he might have got the idea from the historian Procopius (circa 500-565), who described one of the peoples of "Britta" as the "Angiloi." Gregory, noticing fair-haired slaves for sale, was told they were Angles: "Not Angles, but Angels" was his famous pun. Whether or not the story is true, Gregory not only sent a mission of forty monks under the prior of a Roman monastery, Augustine, in 596 to convert these angels with dirty faces from their Germanic heathenism, but he firmly decided that they constituted a single people, and only ever referred to them as "Angli." The organization of the Church that followed Augustine's mission was based unwaveringly on that assumption. There came to be a single Church of the gens Anglorum, with two provinces in Canterbury and York. This Church transcended the boundaries of the various kingdoms...No less important, the Church did not include all the islands, but excluded Ireland and nearly all the turbulent lands that would eventually become Scotland and Wales.

This story was given historical shape by Baede, or Bede, a monk of the great Northumbrian monastery of Jarrow, who was "indisputably the greatest historian of the Middle English Ages, and arguably the greatest historian of all time." His Ecclesiastical History of the English People, written in Latin and finished in 731, gave an intellectual and religious significance to this still hypothetical nation...

[nsacpi]

So if the "English" were invented by a pope and monk, why can't an academic department rename it as something else?

The English language itself is but a branch of the Germanic languages. So it can be renamed too.

Y'all need to get with it.

A nice representation of how TLHLIM

Yep, no one ever got upset about politics until Trump came along. Absolutely no one.
