A university student has been banned from Aberdeen University's union for two weeks after saying 'Rule Britannia' during a debate on the British Army
Elizabeth Heverin, 19, received the ban after quoting the historic anthem prompted another student to complain.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Miss Heverin said: 'It feels like I’ve been prosecuted for the crime of being patriotic, it’s scary to think where freedom of speech at the university will go from here.'

WOW! When I was in college we had Freedom of Speech! What is wrong now???? Too many screaming harpies!
‘it’s scary to think where freedom of speech at the university will go from here.’
It’s a lot worse than that. It’s not confined to the university.
bttt
Yep, way beyond that, it's social media as a whole.
Teacher: “Students, here is your assignment for today’s debate — Sally, you shall take Position A, and Mary, you shall take Position B. Sally, we shall start with you.”
Sally: “I support Position A—”
Mary: “Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! I feel threatened!”
Teacher: “Sally, I shall have to ban you for two weeks for your outrageous conduct.”
Was his name 'Mohammed' or similar?....................
This is decidedly anti-white and anti-West.
Is there a point or line?
Gee-will the Brits ALSO abandon their national anthem?
Hitler would definitely be offended by such a pro-western stance.
This is only one sign that Great Britain is finished, and that the British don’t know it yet.
The Queen is a symbol of the lost Greatness of Britain, and when she is no longer Queen, the crumbling of Britain will be much more obvious. Enjoy it while you can, Brits.
Two separate cultures can only exist as long as one is much stronger then the other. What we are seeing is a shift from a culture based on Western Judeo-Christian beliefs to one of socialism.
In order for the left to win they must undermine everything related to Western Culture. When you hear the term “white supremacist” translate it to Western Culture.
When “hate crimes” became a thing followed by the the claim only whites can be prejudice our society took the first steps on the slippery slope.
Unfortunately, you are correct.
OTOH, they did stick us with the Harkles....
I notice these stories are always from outside the US, where they have no first amendment.
That being said, it is obvious that we ARE going to have to fight for it here more. And fight we must.
Of course once they aren’t really Britons anymore but quisling Woke twits surrounded by Islam...
"International students" - same problem there as here.
"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
Britons never will be slaves."
Enoch a more right than even he knew.
kinda ironic!
...slaves to woke universities.
When Britain first, at Heaven’s command
Arose from out the azure main;
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:
“Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
“Britons never will be slaves.”
The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall;
While thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.
“Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
“Britons never will be slaves.”
Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful, from each foreign stroke;
As the loud blast that tears the skies,
Serves but to root thy native oak.
“Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
“Britons never will be slaves.”
Thee haughty tyrants ne’er shall tame:
All their attempts to bend thee down,
Will but arouse thy generous flame;
But work their woe, and thy renown.
“Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
“Britons never will be slaves.”
To thee belongs the rural reign;
Thy cities shall with commerce shine:
All thine shall be the subject main,
And every shore it circles thine.
“Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
“Britons never will be slaves.”
The Muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coast repair;
Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crown’d,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.
“Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
“Britons never will be slaves.”
