Ada just meant “Hello mate”
Edinburgh SA is in the news again.
EUSA’s controversial LGBT+ officer Ada Wells is in hot water once again, after tweeting: “I sure hope more police die today”.
Ada, whose Twitter account has been private after a variety of controversies saw them in the public eye, followed the tweet with the hashtag #acab – an anti-police acronym standing for ‘all coppers are bastards’.
Ada said it again a week later.
Ada, whose full title is EUSA’s LGBT+ Liberation Group Convenor, has previously been extremely outspoken on LGBT+ matters. Ada, who is trans and prefers to be called ‘they’, labelled women with vaginas as ‘cuntscum’, a remark that shocked members of the LGBT+ community in Edinburgh, the very people Ada is supposed to represent.
But “cunt” is not misogynist in the UK, we’re always told.
Ada has also called women who refuse to have sex with a penis transphobes, and has advocated for them to be expelled from the University of Edinburgh.
At last year’s student council meeting on whether to force EUSA to back a boycott, divestment, and sanctions policy over Israel-Palestine, Ada tried to get Imogen Wilson, one of the sabbatical officers at the time, thrown out of the meeting, for shaking her head.
Kids today, eh?
Women who don’t want to have sex with (people who have) penises should be expelled? Because not enjoying penises is… illegal, immoral, dangerous, intellectually dishonest?
She sounds nice.
Shaddap, you mean “They” sounds nice.
Oh lordy, you’re right – I forgot that Ada prefers “they.”
Pronoun prison for me.
“They” is utterly pathetic.
Were I a women, I wouldn’t want to share the same public restroom with “They”.
And they are an ELECTED representative!
Standing for all the regressive/progressive values. Put the anti-semitic lipstick on the deranged, misogynist ‘beast of choice’ and the generic Student Body will embrace you…
My university elected an Islamist as it’s president. Nobody even told us what was going on until it was reported in the newspapers.
Ada has resigned from the position of EUSA’s LGBT+ Liberation Group Convenor.
So now they can convene in private. How convenient, for all.
Yes. I hope they’ll be happier this way.
I wouldn’t put much store in how they got elected. There are very few people who know the candidates for school group offices well enough to vote competently.
Samantha, that was exactly what happened at my uni. I met the candidates but as a mature student with a life outside the uni, I knew little about any of them. None of the candidates I spoke to told me what was going on, not even the group of girls who decided to stand as a reaction to the Islamists. I didn’t vote but would have done if I had known.
Next time, I was in the know but most students knew nothing about it.
Boy, have this people attending one of our (Brazil) National Students (college) Union (dominated by different left-wing groups in dispute) Congresses back in the 1980s, or a students meeting in any college…with all this “safe space” shit….would be laughable.
“Our policy bans displays of negativity because they can be off putting”. Exactly. ROTFLOLMAO. Unbelievable. What a bunch of whinny wankers.
