The Oxford student who tabled the motion to remove an 'unwelcoming' portrait of the Queen from Magdalen College's common room is a privately educated American post grad, it can be revealed today - as MPs lined up to condemn the move.

Matthew Katzman, a lecturer in computer science and the son of a top lawyer from Maryland on the US east coast - where his family live in a £4million mansion - brought forward the measure to 'cancel' the Queen in his role as president of Magdalen's Middle Common Room (MCR), which is made up of graduates.

The 25-year-old, who grew up in Washington DC and attended a $48,000-a-year historic Quaker private school, earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a masters in theoretical computer science and is now studying for a PhD in 'complexity theory'.

What a weasel he is. Read the article…talk about a privileged youth. Just for fun, note that he went to the same exclusive Quaker school in DC that the Obama girls attended.

The only way we can keep up with the Oxbridge sneer is to send our snottiest over.

I’d say it’s rather backfired in this case.

It seems to me to be appropriate “thanks” for the decades of US-subversive efforts between the Crown and the Rhodes scholarship program.

Meanwhile, from across The Pond with a bigly what the bleep...

Last week, very quietly, the United Kingdom was illegally broken up - BEN HABIB THE Government claims to have legally ended the Union of the United Kingdom. They claim to have repealed the Act of Union 1800.

Been here over 23 years and have not seen this anti Jewish streak here at fr. Pronounced these days.

In a statement, Mr Katzman told MailOnline: 'The Magdalen College MCR voted yesterday to remove an inexpensive print of the queen that was hung in the common room a few years ago (a motion I brought forward in my role as MCR President as I do all motions raised in a sub-committee).

The real test is whether England throws the ungrateful wanker out.

I don’t like it either, but I don’t think it’s specifically anti-Semitic. What it is is anti-self-hating-Jews, ie, people who identify as Bolsheviks before they identify as Hebrews.

Really no different than the crimigrants who come here from their central American or middle east hell holes and then complain that we aren't more like their central American or middle east hell hole.

If you compete to go Oxford, presumably it's at least in part because of Oxford's storied history and traditions. Why go there and complain about the history and traditions?

The UK has a Deep State, too.

And it likely loves this idjit.

but there are a lot of different identity groups that identify as Bolsheviks.

this crowd keeps on pointing out the Jews, and in odd terms.

Because you’re a privileged jerk who attended the same school as Obama’s children?

“tabled the motion “ in the USA means to postpone or suspend consideration. In the rest of the Anglo World, it means the opposite.

At some (NEAR) point, the British Monarch is likely to query; “Can anyone rid me of these pestiferous Americans?” And the GHQ will dust off “War Plan Red”!

Because it's from a British source (see PghBaldy's post #16).
