UCU: Banning a poster, hating the people.


The University and College Union (UCU) of Great Britain is a bastion of left-wing moonbats and communist rejects. Any loony idea that is against the good and decent in this world, they support. Take Israel. In May this organization put forth a motion to boycott all Israeli Universities and colleagues. They tried this tactic in 2007 and was shot down by their rank and file. But do these moonbats ever learn? No. They still try to pass this idiotic idea over and over.

But that isn't the half of it. The members of this organization are active supporters of extreme far-right hate mongers such as David Duke. Messages posted on their message board regularly send people to his website. It took Harry's Place to show this hatred to Great Britain and the world. Given this the UCU finally took down the offending messages.
The University and College Union (UCU) member who posted a link on the union's Web site to an anti-Semitic article on the Web site of former Klu Klux Klan leader, David Duke, has been banned indefinitely from posting on the site.

Jenna Delich, a UCU member from Sheffield, posted a message on the activist list on the UCU Web site in support of a colleague who backs the call to boycott Israeli academia.

Matt Waddup, manager of the UCU activist list, sent an e-mail on Wednesday to all members of the list informing them of her suspension.

"Time for one of my universally popular interventions," Waddup wrote. "I have received complaints from list members about the linking by another member to a Web site which contains highly offensive, racist material.

"I acted to suspend the posting rights of the list member as soon as the union became aware of the link, and having reviewed this and previous conduct; I have now suspended their list membership indefinitely," he wrote.

Waddup warned members to take responsibility and think before sending posts.

"List members should note that my view as moderator is that you are responsible for what you post, including links. Check what you are sharing before you share it. Think about what you are saying before you press send," he wrote.

UCU member Dr. David Hirsh, lecturer at the University of London's Goldsmiths College, said the decision was significant but accused the union of failing to take responsibility for the incident.

Meanwhile, a Web site that published the story about the UCU link to the anti-Semitic article on Duke's Web site has been taken offline after its service provider was threatened with libel.
It is back up again with no problems. Every time the leftist elites try this stunt, it backfires on them.

Free Speech is only to be for the leftist elites it seems. Not for everyone. And the UCU will discover that like the last time they tried this stunt, American Universities will not go along with it. They will ban British Universities and colleagues like they threatened to last time.

The real horror in this is that these people are responsible for teaching the next generation of British leaders.
