National liberation anyone?

Liberals believe in freedom, surely? That’s what they keep on telling us reactionary, bigoted authoritarians. A number of students at Warwick L’Uni might just disagree, however:

Students at Warwick University have been banned from flying the England flag ahead of this month’s World Cup, it emerged today.
Students have been told that no flags can be displayed at windows before or after the tournament, and that flags of countries which did not qualify - such as Scotland - may not be flown at all.

The university authorities are worried that flying the flag might cause tension between students of different nationalities who live in the halls.

In other words, the ethnic situation at the university is so volatile that even the slightest reminder of the existence of another nation might send many of its students into a genocidal rage. Given what I think about Warwick University, this surprises me not in the slightest.

But surely the university, multiculti authorities should hesitate before admitting that its students are this hate-filled and intolerant of all nationalites other than their own. Might throw a spanner into the wheels of the Undivertable Enlightened Train, mightn’t it?

This is especially sweet and meet as Warwick has long carved for itself a niche as the most “tolerant”, “inclusive”, etc of L’Uni bins. Tolerance? For randy homosexuals, but not for patriotic Englishmen- or indeed patriotic anyones. Inclusive? It effectively excludes from its dominant culture the vast majority of all Englishmen.

The students in question sound like imminently sensible fellows, especially for a place like Warwick, with one exception. One of them said:

The university have treated us with contempt. They originally told us we weren’t allowed flags at all because flags might create an opportunity for violence.

International students have chosen to come to this country so I don’t think they will have a problem with the English flag.

I wouldn’t bet on it. Only too many British residents of a certain extraction regard ther penetration of the West as a continuation of the battle they lost at the Gates of Vienna. But then, given their disorderly behaviour, they aren’t particularly likely to be university students.

One of the ignominies inflicted by the West on its colonial holdings was the denial to them of expressions of their nationality. As I have written before, our ethnic guests are increasingly acting like our pith-helmeted masters.

I have had the doctrine of national liberation rammed into my eyelids by Leftie teachers: why, pray tell, does it not apply to the English?

This is not relevent to your argument but I feel I should mention that story is from 2002, not the current World Cup.

The title should be; “Liberated of your Nation anyone”?
Some have obviously been liberated of their scenes, understated of course.

I forgot to give Laban Tall a hat tip at the end of that. He’s just linked to that story on his blog, so I’m a bit surprised to discover that it’s four years old.
