After being called racist for talking about my "freebie five" and how they were all white, I gave up.

I don't fancy Idris Elba or Denzel - it does not make me racist!!!!!

And the Left wonder why it is becoming a Middle Class niche in much of Europe.

People are starting to ignore them, same as they did the Bishops and for similar reasons.

By the way the same mad wagon I know thinks the sinking of the Titanic was "a largely positive thing" as it forced the women survivors to embrace feminism in New York.

She's one comment away from becoming a parody of herself at this point.

Do you work with Una Mullally or Rosemary McCabe???

She genuinely asked why the leaders of the Rising were all white men.

She is one of those.

Hang on she knows about countess Markievicz, right?

Where is this woman from?

Russia had more casualties than the rest of the allied side combined. Are the majority of what was then Russia white?

Yes.

I'd stay well clear of her. All joking aside, she sounds like she has some serious mental issues.

Feels like it some days but no, just a "normal" feminist!

Ireland! She doesn't class CM as a "leader" of the Rising as she was forced into it!

My hoop she was!!! She's one of my heroes for a reason - ballsy as f**k!!!!

So she was forced into the revolution and was also a white supremacist?

Logic is not something these idiots concern themselves with.

The same person considers that a man calling "hey gorgeous" after a woman is guilty of sexual assault whereas a women doing likewise to a man is "embracing her womanhood".

I imagine there are more examples but thankfully I can tune out some if it now.

She has used the phrase "pale, male and stale" to describe several of the bands her kids are into! One of them being The Beatles.

Seems like a remarkably low IQ is her main enemy.

Once told me off for wearing a wristband to support Pride that the rainbow colours are "hackneyed and offensive to gay men".

It was a gay man who gave it to me!

The next generation have even more crazies.

It becomes self selecting, as the 1950s Priest types increase it pushes away the average person and especially working class people.

Conform or f off is the mantra.

They have had to close off the room over fears of the mural being vandalised.

Mini me authoritarian she may be but they still have an impact.

The threat works for them, they get off on it, at great cost y on the Left though.

Again, I have no idea why this person has been given the oxygen of publicity for expressing a belief that is quite clearly moronic.

This makes me wonder how she got into a university in the first place.

Why on earth someone in her student union didn't take her aside and tell her to shove her opinion is beyond me.

What a twit.
That person should be investigated for craziness!!

A common feature of campus life in recent years around the world is students having problems with the heritage of their surroundings, have they not got any real problems.
