General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

Which British constitution?

Henry Bolton OBE

This is a massive red flag.

Dropping “His Majesty’s” is not simply aesthetics or style. It’s constitutional vandalism. By removing the “HM” Starmer’s Labour government is trying to remove the habit of accountability. They’re deliberately trying to get you to forget the constitutional authority to govern comes from.

It strips away the constitutional truth that ministers serve, that power is delegated by the Crown, and that the state is not the property of politicians.

This is how an authoritarian mindset alters the narrative: quietly and administratively, and denied at every stage.

Add to this the erosion of trial by jury and it becomes clear this name change is not a one-off issue, but part of a pattern. It’s a grab for self-appointed authority with reduced oversight.

I read the full tweet and this had me laughing: Old logo and name and, below that, the new)

Complaining about the removal of HM and then calls his majesty's court of arms a "logo". You couldn't make up this fake level of outrage if you tried... Oh sorry yes you can if you are a despicable barstool.

Today's Gammon outrage
The Bangor University statement:

If it's on campus property it's your responsibility.

Would you take this tone if a student group banned people from a different protected group such as no black people, Muslims or homosexuals?

Your students breaking the law under your banner is squarely your responsibility.

It's all well and good saying this, however what will you about the sensitive runts that forced you to have to say this?

A debating society has to be neutral. You need to do something more than just this.

You have fostered the environment of all this woke ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊. Universities are all completely ◊◊◊◊ nowadays.

Seems you're turning out a load of weaklings and lemmings then, unable to think for themselves or indeed debate matters disagreeable to themselves. Does that render you a pointless institution or is that your intended aim?

But what kind of culture are you fostering where students from a debating society proudly refuse to debate with a party that’s at 30% in the polls?

I expect universities to be elitist, to a degree. But close-minded and dogmatic? What’s going wrong on your campus?

It does rather ask a lot of questions about what you are teaching, as your students do seem to think that your claimed values are not theirs.

Closing the university until it can show its competent at education may be best all round.

Maybe you should teach your students about the importance of debate and open dialogue with everyone, not just those they agree with.

If YOU the boss, then do the BOSSING, stop the vile hard left anti free speech ..''teaching'' . Because look at what you are churning out ..??

etc

Seems the Russian bot farms are getting busy just now...

It's the part of the hurley you strike the sliothar with.

When I first made this TikTok video in 2024 you all laughed at me.

Well, today the Supreme Court has ruled that ‘oat milk’ can no longer be called milk.

You’re not laughing now are you!

Tit.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

1) Some rule gets changed.
2) Farage madly sifts through millions of previous moaning posts he made to see if he also moaned about this. Aha!
3) Farage claims victory in important rule change battle thanks to his years-old tiktok bleating about it, that nobody ever watched.

No, Nige, everyone's still laughing at you. So it isn't the milk thing at all.

 

[steenkh]

Now about the milk thing: this is something we in the EU have been suffering under for a couple of years, but I thought this was one of the kind of silliness that you do not have to submit to. What happened?

 

[Norman Alexander]

Well, they can't call it "oat paint".

I'm glad of this one, these ultra processed liquids have tried to market themselves as somehow being a healthy food.

As has milk.

Ironically the health advice is to opt for ultra-processed milk products!

To make healthier choices, go for lower fat and lower sugar options.
