What an utterly fatuous, never mind tasteless, remark by the proud “Unherd Staff”.
Yes, we expect better.
As a trivial aside, the picture was taken on the green beneath Clifford’s Tower, York, UK.
I walked past the Palestinian protest camp at Leeds Uni on Saturday.
Barely anybody there apart from the usual SWP 12 year olds and a few white middle-aged women expiating their guilt no doubt.
Two things I did notice;
1; No Blacks taking part; so obviously no reciprocal activism after BLM.
2; Zero recognition from the large numbers of Chinese students; not in their worldview at all.
Mostly the same where I live. Few more women with headscarves than you report and a smattering of ‘queer’ types, but mostly the decidedly pale SWP renta-mob and silly old bats covered in button badges for every leftie cause-celebre right back to the Miners’ Strike.
Given Arab views on black people I am not surprised they are not reciprocating.
Couldn’t they have at least kept some of the old journal title — maybe renaming it to Saxon Early Medieval England and its Neighbours — which would have provided a more memorable acronym, and one more in line with the onanism involved.
Who are the individuals behind the decision? Names…
No doubt a careful investigation would reveal that no one decided it. It just happened…
The protests turn the universities into tent cities but am not sure if the protests are effective. Anyway if there are problems with Astrazeneca, are the other brands without problems? I guess no use worrying. Those who will survive will survive. Just saying. XO
Apart from anything else, ‘total drips’ definitely deserves revival as a diss.
