I'm going to presume she is actually just a bit thick and didn't know what it was.

I dont really see what your point adds here marra. The fact it happened to be painted in 1916 doesnt really add anything one way or another. From the pictures I've seen its not clear that's a soldier getting a degree.Aside from the fact it was painted in 1916 and depicts the act of conferring an unfishied degree onto an unknown soldier of course. You'd expect a senior member of the student union to know suck facts. Maybe not a jub from Sunderland.
Don't imagine there were many black folk at Southampton uni in 1914 but as a jub from Sunderland I might be wrong
I've looked at pictures of the mural that this lass is getting pelters for and there isn't anything immediately obvious that I could see that would identify it as a war memorial.
But even so, why should she want to paint over it? And celebrating the idea of that? Are white men really that bad?I'm going to presume she is actually just a bit thick and didn't know what it was.
I just Googled that. Seems you’re right.Ignorance is not an excuse in this day and age when you can find out almost anything in seconds.
Completely agree.I dont really see what your point adds here marra. The fact it happened to be painted in 1916 doesnt really add anything one way or another. From the pictures I've seen its not clear that's a soldier getting a degree.
Perhaps there's a nice plaque that dedicating it to students that didn't return just out of shot, I'd think that would have been covered by one of the hysterical articles I've seen about it though.
I don't agree with her personally, even if it was just a painting of bunch of white blokes from 100 years ago getting a degree. I don't think she deserves all of the scorn she's getting though.
In all honesty mate I spent the best part of 10 minutes trying to find out about it but just kept getting articles about the daft lass.Ignorance is not an excuse in this day and age when you can find out almost anything in seconds.

Historically aye, probably.But even so, why should she want to paint over it? And celebrating the idea of that? Are white men really that bad?
Ah the old Marxist abuse of power routine. I will not be silenced.I was offered a very good one but for some reason declined.
I do however have access to an unlimited edit facility.
Fair do's. I tried "Southampton uni mural" and just got a load of headlines.I typed 'southampton university senate room mural' into google, first result:
20_rothenstein_mural | Great War: Unknown War | University of Southampton
First paragraph: 'The Rothenstein Mural was painted in 1916 as a memorial to members of the British universities serving in the Great War.'
If only they taught how to use Google on Ms Dawes' course.
She's deserves it all. She is or was président of the southampton student university society. So on that basis you'd assume she was aware of a fairly significant work of art which belongs to the university. If not its utter ignorance. If she was aware and still went public with those comments then she is ignorant of history at best and at worst hates white people.I dont really see what your point adds here marra.

Probably what she did the stupid twatFair do's. I tried "Southampton uni mural" and just got a load of headlines.
I wondered too whether this will return to haunt her when she becomes an MP.She's deserves it all. She is or was président of the southampton student university society.

So no. She doesn't have an excuse and needs scorn poured all over the feckless tosser.
It's cost her a job and probably a career unless she joins Diane abbot's constituency or some other pretendy anti racist group.
Half a brain says you do your research on the thing you're piling into especially when it's quite recent to the institution.
Idiot falls on her gender neutral sword non story.
Probably what she did the stupid twat
You are happy she's lost her job for advocating note not actually painting over a mural even after she apologised after her error was pointed out to her.She's deserves it all.

She's doing physics iirc. Can't see her turning up as an aide to a lefty MP.It's cost her a job and probably a career unless she joins Diane abbot's constituency or some other pretendy anti racist group.
I'm not saying you are but people who criticise white males in particular really have a lack of understanding of equality, western culture and history.Historically aye, probably.
We've had a good run.
I'm a white male, I'd happily go back to the good old days.I'm not saying you are but people who criticise white males in particular really have a lack of understanding of equality, western culture and history.

Not really a job is it. People need to think much more about the consequences of their social media like whore life. Students have been stupid for time immemorial but unfortunately now it's public and widely accessible. Such is life. Valuable life lesson learned.You are happy she's lost her job for advocating note not actually painting over a mural even after she apologised after her error was pointed out to her.
She might not have a choice.She's doing physics iirc. Can't see her turning up as an aide to a lefty MP.
