So it comes as little surprise <a title=\"University of Nottingham students filmed in necrophilia chant\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-nottinghamshire-29541099\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to read this story on the BBC website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s freshers gathered outside the Capital FM Arena and filmed themselves chanting:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Now she&#8217;s dead, but not forgotten, dig her up and **** her rotten. You wish, you wish, you wish you were in Cavendish [one of the Halls]\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>God knows what the hell it is supposed to mean. For one thing, the little prats haven\u2019t been associated with \u201cCavendish\u201d for anywhere near long enough to have formed any sort of serious attachment to it, and certainly not one that warrants this display of childish behaviour. But then some twat then had to <a title=\"Cavendish Hall Freshers' Finale Chant\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kUGP9nHWiPc&amp;feature=player_embedded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">go and post it on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Quite frankly, society would be much better off if necrophilia was <strong>all<\/strong> they got up to &#8211; that way we could be sure they wouldn\u2019t breed. As it is, all we can do is hope vainly that Nottingham University actually finds those \u201cculpable\u201d and sends them back where they came from so that they can grow up and maybe try further education again in a few years. But I certainly won\u2019t hold my breath &#8211; the video has been around for over a week and they\u2019ve done nothing.  <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Still no action as of 13 October, but it would appear that the proto-politicians who comprise the students union <a title=\"University of Nottingham students' necrophilia chant criticised\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-nottinghamshire-29558952\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have found a new word to keep repeating<\/a>. See if you can work out how many times the word \u201cmisogyny\u201d is used in this latest article. More significantly, look how pissed off D&amp;G Taxis and Domino\u2019s Pizza are at having been dragged into this puerile episode.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A third-year student, who did not want to be named, told the BBC&#8230; during her first year she was part of a group taken to a secluded spot and taught a song about sex with women, which they were warned not to repeat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>How pathetic.  <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>As of 25 October <a title=\"University of Nottingham students fined over sexist chants\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-nottinghamshire-29756910\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it appears that some of the students<\/a> involved have been fined, though the University refuses to confirm or deny this. If it\u2019s true, the \u201cfine\u201d consists of a paltry \u00a3150 &#8211; which will no doubt be considered a badge of honour among the retards involved.<\/p>\n<p>The incident also appears to be only to do with misogyny now. No one seems to be the least bit concerned about how a large group of alleged adults was standing around in a public place swearing at the tops of their voices. They appear still less concerned that such behaviour is both sanctioned and encouraged by the University and the Students Union.<\/p>\n<p>Worse still is the fact that a number of Student Union reps were also involved.This has apparently given the Union the opportunity it needs to have a lot of meetings before it, too, dishes out whatever it laughably considers as \u201cpunishment\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I was talking to one of my pupils about this, and she told me some of the things that \u201cfreshers\u201d are expected to do. It was a real eye-opener, and clearly shows \u201cfreshers week\u201d to be a far more insidious group of events than the posters would have you believe. It\u2019s a form of indoctrination for minds that are still only weeks out of childhood (and, as this story shows, in many cases still years away from leaving it). <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Well, the <a title=\"University of Nottingham students 'sacked' over sexist chants\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-nottinghamshire-29921782\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">union reps have been \u201cremoved from their posts\u201d<\/a>, but they\u2019re still at the university.<\/p>\n<p>As I said above, there is more to this than meets the eye. Freshers are specifically taught these immature chants (and many other rites), and no matter how much is made of it being against some sort of \u201cunion code\u201d if reps do it, they\u2019re still apparently appointed specifically to encourage the freshers to behave this way.<\/p>\n<p>I love tis quote by the union president (Harry Copson):<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We also recognise that this issue is culturally ingrained and one that comes to light not through malice but through a lack of awareness.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s no wonder it is \u201cculturally ingrained\u201d when this sort of behaviour (in various forms) is encouraged at every university throughout the country during freshers\u2019 events. It mainly comes about as a result of gross immaturity, but there <strong>is<\/strong> an underlying malice that cannot be glossed over. The person who filmed the event in the first place was obviously upset by it because of the person she is. The morons who engaged in it &#8211; and those who taught it, not to mention those who go under the guise of political officialdom who know damned well it happens &#8211; do so because of the kind of people <strong>they<\/strong> are.<\/p>\n<p>What makes it really frightening is that these same people will gain degrees, some will run the country or large companies, and most will probably breed. God help their children having parents like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time of year sees a lot of new pupils who are in their first year at university.
