Why not carry out a survey of the number of toilets around the country with swatikas in them. I expect there is a lot. My point being, as stupid as this, is it’s not really news is it. They were probably drawn on by who ever it was that contacted the telegraph to write this article.
God I get bored of all this drivel. What ever happened to grown up reporting. There is enough important stuff going on in the uk and internationally that wasting space on such low quality story telling is a bit of a disgrace.
So they’ve illustrated this with pictures of a pro-palestine demonstration. In my experience, these tend to be left wing events.
Swastikas are generally associated with the far-right.
So on encountering a Swastika, is it reasonable to assume that its a left wing student activist who wants a genocide to stop, or is it reasonable to assume that its a seig heiling Nazi?
Personally I’m going with the latter, but I suspect the Torygraph fans will be along soon to tell me that the “Socialist” in “*Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei*” means they were very definitely left wingers.
Oh yeah I have a cubicle like that in my school too, it’s probably one of my favourites up there with the “School name”=F**ked cubicle and the disabled cubicle.
Ha ha every grimy toilet I’ve been to for the past 10 years has had questionable graffiti in the toilets.
This is an amazing non-story!
Why we allowed the Naxi’s to co-opt what had been a religious symbol of peace for decades, I’ll never get why we didn’t openly distance Nazism and symbolism. A reclaimation of what was a symbol of hate is more powerful than a ban. If the next evil uses stripes are we banning stripes? Awfully reductive I know, but my point is this…
There’s a million reasons people put graffiti in toilets, regardless of the prestige of the university. It could be a Nazi gesture, which is obviously abhorrant. But it equally could be an edgy teenager. It could be attention seeking, it could be a call to action, it could be a religious gesture.
Point is, its hardly news that an idiot has put graffiti in toilets. I’ve read some grim stuff in public toilets, I didn’t assume there was a wider issue. Now swastikas appearing in halls, around outside campus, rallies…that’s cause for concern.
Is this really national news? They gonna report on the hairy cock and balls found in every lad’s toilet across the country?
They should do pentagrams next. Lots of Satanists in the toilets too alongside Nazis
For goodness sake, the world is full of idiots, is this seriously news?
Hilarious how much this is being played down in this thread because it’s likely this was done by the pro-Palestine crowd.
There would be absolute murder in here if it wasn’t. Zero principles, just supporting your team.
Oh dear, wait till they find out the toilets in the worlds biggest primark in birmingham have swastikas in too. There was even *holding back tears* a cartoon penis
How is this news. There are swastikas on almost every school desk, toilet door and dirty van in the country. It’s the go to “edgy” teen silly drawing
Funny how comments are saying “is this news?” Or “slow news day”. However if the graffiti was “Death to Muslims” they would be up in arms.
“Shit found in toilets”
In other news, the sky is blue.
I think it’s the fact it’s in Oxford University. I thought only the intelligent attended? I guess the maturity level there is pretty low.
Some drunk lad on gear draws swastika in the toilets for a laugh and makes national news.
State of this reporting.
Not to downplay it but that’s like saying there’s a racist in your local village
A “peaceful” student movement supporting Islamic terrorists, lovely
Top notch reporting. I also expect a full blown investigation into my local Tesco, my old sixth form and the local train station as I’m concerned about similar ideologically motivated pseud-art found in the toilets of said establishments…
Must be the first time the author has visited a public toilet.
We had a picture of hitler drawn in our work toilet!
On the emergency light!
There are swastikas on the Essex County Council building, quite famously. Those ones predate Nazism, from when it was simply a Sanskrit good luck symbol.
“Breaking news, Steve loves Tony has been inscribed on a public toilet inside mc Donald’s.”
They’ve unfairly blamed Palestinians but I think it’s just as likely the whole thing was just tomfoolery.
Non story . This is just some idiot kid thinking it’s funny to draw a swastika not because there are literal nazis there.
When we were at school we were always sneaking swastikas and penisrs onto our mates’ work. It was done by loads of people and was merely immature japery.
I wouldn’t look too much into this
Some of the future leaders of the UK hate people of colour and want to crush the population in order to ensure their twisted view of the world in enacted?
It must be a dream. Surely.
The amount of “jumpers for goalposts, swasticas on our homework” bullshit on here to avoid talking about a possible link to the recent rise in antisemitism is pathetic.
I heard at the canteens you can now get a Reich pudding.
Swastikas infestations in bathrooms can be nasty. It’s going to cost them a bit to spray the whole place with Corbyn nonenal.
I really hate what this country has become.
Everything has become divisive and hateful. It started with brexit and it’s only going to get worse
Isn’t this quite convenient right now, what with the protests and all? I won’t believe it unless there is proof it was done by students. Shouldn’t believe anything coming out of the telegraph anyway.
Before the war it was all Hammer and Sickle graffiti.
