anotherbanana Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Imagine the cretins at Nottingham Trent Uni dropping the words Anglo Saxon from course titles for b.loody woke reasons all because of some spurious reason! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13801595/university-removes-anglo-saxon-module-titles-decolonise-curriculum.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 The entire world has gone mad ! I find it all very sad. I am no longer young, but I do have a few years left (unless I'm hit by a bus or fall terribly ill). I find all this craziness hard to watch and extremely depressing. It has a direct negative impact on life and the outlook of happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I suppose I should not describe myself as a W.A.S.P. anymore then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 1 hour ago, Lehaut said: I suppose I should not describe myself as a W.A.S.P. anymore then. Heaven forbid ! And I dare describe myself at all these days. All this, IMO, has lowered the frequency of verbal communications with other people. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) " Academics have been campaigning to replace Anglo-Saxon with 'Early Medieval English' due to concern the former suggests a distinct, native Englishness. Surely 'Early Medieval English' suggets ENGLISHness more than 'Anglo-Saxon' does? But why would anyone even wipe their posterior with the Daily Wail, let alone read it or worse quote it? You should know better oh shrivelled one 😂 Edited September 2 by NormanH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 Quite right, Norman, a sad comment on the state of British academe. However, given the paper quality of the DM, I would suggest that you avoid using it for your most personal needs as your haemorrhoids might well take umbrage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanH Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 In this context I imagine that this performance of a carol that I used to find delightful would be condemned because of the fact the performers are not of the right type? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
