  1. Yeah fuck the students trying to get an education that need financial help right. Muppets.

  2. There’s always a reason why there is some sort of protest blocking a building.

    Ussually they do it around this time when the weather gets warmer.

  3. So convinced by their cause they won’t show their face.

  4. The article doesn’t say _why_ Edinburgh uni has been targeted.

  5. Block entrances, disrupt the lives of other people, dress up like terrorists, make excuses for them…

    Then get mad when you call them what they are: terror supporters.

    Hope they get cleared out of the way asap.

  6. Absolutely their right to do so and the place makes sense, the University of Edinburgh does have some financial ties to Israel adjecent companies

    Not sure why so many here are getting their knickers in a bunch about the protest though. You don’t want people to be able to protest? Well tough, folks died to give you the right.

  7. People freaking out about the word *intifada,* but it simply means “uprising” or “shaking off” in Arabic. Like revolution, it can refer to both violent and non-violent movements. The First Intifada, began as a largely non-violent civil resistance movement, with protests, strikes, and boycotts. The Second Intifada saw much more violence. The word itself is not inherently violent, its meaning depends on context.

    Many movements around the world use similar language to express resistance or civil disobedience without advocating violence

  8. Look, don’t be nasty – the trust fund babies need a hobby to keep them busy given they only have about 3 lectures a week on their philosophy and social science courses. What good is spending tens of thousands of pounds to go to Edinburgh Uni if you can‘t get involved in some pointless student politics before you take up your consultancy job at KPMG?

  9. Imagine calling for a fucking “intifada” next they’ll be encouraging jihad. Get fucked!
