Many years ago I was tremendously keen for 'SoD' (er, that's 'Son of Duff' if you are a new reader of this distinguished blog!) to go to a University to complete his 'edukashun'. Part of my enthusiasm on his behalf was because his chosen subject was 'computerology', you know, all those whizzy-do-thingies that drive us all mad these days! Had he intended to study a non-technological subject, like History or Literature, I doubt I would have been so enthusiastic. To my non-University mind these former, er, 'Halls of Learning' have descended to the depths of pig-ignorance and corruption!
Nowhere is this better illustrated than in an article at The Coffee House featuring events at the Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) - and no, me neither! Apparently it has several distinguished alumni including a certain, Junius Ho, currently a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong.
According to Luke de Pulford at The Coffee House:
The folk at ARU seemed to like Ho. In fact they liked him so much that they gave him an honorary doctorate in 2011. The fawning description of Ho on the ARU website says they are ‘proud to follow his continuing evolution.’
Indeed, they were so proud that they granted this mega-rich 'Hong-Konger' an Honoury Degree in 2011. Alas and alack, since then, 'oh what a falling off was there!' Here are some of Mr. Ho's pronouncements:
In 2017 Ho called for protestors to be ‘killed mercilessly’. It’s not a big deal to kill ‘pigs and dogs’ he reasoned. In July this year he circulated photos of Westerners at protests, and implied they were foreign intelligence agents. This month he said that fellow legislator Claudia Mo was ‘habitually eating foreign sausage’, referring to her English husband.
Ho issued what was widely perceived to be a death threat live on air to another legislator, Eddie Chu. He regularly calls protestors ‘cockroaches’. When the Legislative Council of Hong Kong was debating same sex marriage, Ho objected and argued that it could lead to permitting bestiality.
All very nasty but, of course, to the ARU management Mr. Ho was the means by which zillions of 'moolah' could be diverted from Chinese government sources into their coffers. Thus it has taken a considerable time for them to pluck up such moral courage as they possess and revoke all connections to this detestable Chinese thug and his Peking puppet-masters!
Too many of our 'Unies' have as well. The Left does that to any institution it controls. Ours have been known to go whoring for dollars from rich Chinese and make no apologies. Decades ago, it was Soviet infiltrators. Ours have not yet grappled much with "moral courage" as they are too busy policing student's free speech rights. Faculty members as well.
