Suffice to say she completely ignored his advice.

Today I was speaking to a lecturer in medicine at Aberdeen University.
I said I'd been seeing the university getting some real bad press with their warnings to students about absolute sh*te like dancers " dying" on stage during a ballet and of course the Peter Pan nonsense.

He said although the press have been making the most of it, things were actually worse on a day to day basis.

A lecture can now never be a relaxed event as it's impossible to crack a joke, it's also impossible to ad lib your way through anything because the students report you if they think you've used the wrong word etc.

The worst offence is showing any image of a dead body or surgery without giving them all a specific warning first.
This is a medicine course mind.

If you're thinking of being run over anytime soon you better give the next generation of medics a written warning a few days in advance.
We wouldn't want to upset the wee angels with anything unforeseen now would we?


This is Mason's world folks

You choose.
All decent people are "Woke" fairness equality inat, But then there is extreme Wokeness /Culture cancel etc. That's Mason's world, wokeness to the point of suffocating our ability to engage objectively and constructively with subjects that desperately call for shadiness not Binary or black and white, Mason's opinions delivered with an arrogance that's sometimes breath taking. Given your friend's experience DD it most definitely stops them from participating in a public life that calls for the ability to see two contradictory views at the same time. The thing is now you can now be arrested and jailed if you object to a Man with a c0ck and beard naked in a changing room exposing himself to your 6 year old daughter. That's extreme wokeness That's Masons world
