An Attack on Free Speech: Scottish university student expelled for criticizing Israel

[Breathe]

If you think that urine or genital rubbing is free speech, then I need to have a "talk" with you.

Remind me not to come to any of your workshop seminars if you ever do one.

 

[Father Heathen]

so we do find flag fetish some what strange and very "Foreign".

It's no where near as strange as a monarchy fetish.

Not many of us could even describe the Royal Standard... Perhaps we are not into flags.

Quarterly I and IV: Gules, three lions passant gardant in pale Or, armed and langued Azure; II: Or, a lion rampant Gules, armed and langued Azure, within a double tressure flory counter-flory of the second; III: Azure, a harp Or, stringed Argent.

That is, the ancient arms of the Kings of England, dating from the arms of Richard the Lionheart, quartered with the ancient arms of the Kings of Scotland, dating from the arms of Uilliam Mac Eanric King of Scots (latter half of the 12th century, if I recall correctly), and with the arms of the Kingdom of Ireland (previously the Lordship of Ireland, as the blazon of the Celtic harp does not seem to go back farther than around Richard II or so of England, who claimed overlordship of Ireland, but not kingship).



And I'm not even British....

But you're into old bags, placing a crown on their head, and calling them "queen". That's far goofier than using a piece of cloth to symbolize an identity.

Up to now all our Queens have been very young when they inherited the throne. certainly not old bags.
Mary who shared the throne with William of Orange was rather older.
Queen consorts were a very mixed bag.

I know what my own looks like but I had to look up the official wording.

My own arms are.... ( confirmed to descendants of James Andrews (1762-841) Az on a fesse or three mullets of the field. Crest A dove holding in the bill an olive branch ppr, charged on the breast with a mullet az; mantled gu doubled argent.

That means a blue shield with a gold horizontal band on which are three blue stars.
The crest is a dove holding an olive branch with a blue star on its breast.
The manteling (cloak) is Gold and silver.

But of course you knew that.

Nice arms, dude! Color me jealous: I've always wanted arms.... Although shouldn't "mantled gu. doubled argent" be mantling in red and silver? If it were gold and silver, it ought to be "Or doubled argent," ought it not?
