NUS - gay men are no longer oppressed enough

And we had conscription. They were not storming the beaches to protect our freedom, they were forced to fight at the risk of being shot or imprisoned. It was their job.

You're thinking of WW1.

During World War Two, the only military offence which carried the death sentence was Mutiny.

They don't like Milo and his love for Daddy Trump.

Yup, and the fact that a lot of bi/gay men don't kowtow to their ideology.

Have you tried reading the verse from the New Testament I linked to? ...

Jesus was basically telling his disciples not to worry about the poor at that point, as they could do that any time.

Wasn't the only occasion he prioritised himself and his mission over conventional niceties, for example in Matthew ch 8 vv 21, 22 :

(21) And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father (22) But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

The difference between the right and the left is that the right do not try and pretend to be virtuous

2016-01-05 Safe space hand wringers are attacking academic freedom – we must fight back

As one example, mentioned in that article, some student union banned students from wearing sombreros, on the grounds it was racist and disparaging to Mexicans.

Couldn't see that mentioned in the article but I remember that and it wasn't quite what you said. In fact the NUS banned a banned a Mexican restaurant from handing out sombreros to students at a freshers ball.

Union officials took them away from new students, according to reports, and told restaurant workers the hats breached a policy forbidding stallholders from handing out materials including “discriminatory or stereotypical imagery”.

They were quickly accused of hypocrisy, with observers pointing out that the union encourages students to appropriate African American cultural tropes at its annual “Pimp My Barrow” event.

One must get one's facts correct otherwise one will be accused of being Boris Johnson...
