“Woke university college ‘CANCELS’ annual St George’s Day dinner to mark end of Ramadan instead,” by Dan Falvey, GB News, April 5, 2023:
An annual St George’s Day dinner has been cancelled by an Oxford college.
Magdalen College usually holds an annual banquet to mark the day of the English saint, with students and academics dining together to enjoy a traditional feast.
However, no such dinner will be taking place this year, with the college instead using the occasion to mark the end of Ramadan.
The Oxford college will hold a formal dinner for Eid on April 23 – despite the annual festival actually taking place two days earlier.
In the four years prior to the pandemic a St George’s Day feast was held, according to the Telegraph.
Magdalen College denies it has a tradition of designated St George’s Day dinners.
However, the newspaper cited proof of such events, including a formal invite in 2018 from the then college vice-president for lecturers to “celebrate St George’s Day” with “a formal hall and high table at 7.30pm with a special English menu”.
It added that the evening would be accompanied by “Grace and English Music by the Clerks followed by an oration”.
Instead this year, an invitation has been sent out for guests to “celebrate Eid with a festive dinner in the Hall”.
It added that “the meal will follow Muslim customs: the meat dish will be halal and no alcohol will be served”.
A spokesman for Magdalen College said: “Sunday 23 April is the first day of the new term….
“There is no College tradition of a formal dinner for St George’s Day.”…

British Universities have waved the white flag, and surrendered to Islam!
Very soon, these quisling Universities will no longer admit female students.
Remeber the words of Adolf Hitler: “The clever conqueror always makes his demands by gradual installments!”

So correct. This creeping sickness is invading the Western World without a bullet being shot
somehistory says
One day in the near future, all living on earth will celebrate the end of evil…including the sickening *meals* held to honor satan the devil.
These college people, celebrating satan’s days, may as well claim they never did any different days celebrating anyone who may have been a *good* guy; because lying fits right in with celebrating what mozlums do.
That ascending smoke comes from the burning pants.

Maybe they can change their name to ‘Madrassa College’? 👿

Well, they’ve certainly got a good grasp of islam, since they have no problem with bare-faced lying, even to the extent of ignoring the fact /feigning unawareness that a lot of people are fully aware that they’ve celebrated St. George’s Day in the past. Readers in the USA might be unaware that all these colleges were essentially (Christian) religious foundations and each has its chapel with a programme of Cathedral-style services throughout the week with the music under the direction of a Music Director and an official student ‘organ scholar’; and one of Magdalen’s previous organ scholars was. I believe, Dudley Moore, who later achieved worldwide fame as a jazz musician and Hollywood film star. God only knows what Dudley would make of all this! And Allah only knows what’s going to happen to Magdalen’s chapel; is it going to be turned into a giant Renaissance ‘prayer room, kitted out like a mosque (as has happened in a lot of NHS hospital chapels)? By the way, generally ignoring St George’s Day has been a fact of life in England for quite a long time now, but you’ll find ‘Burns Nights’, and St. Patrick’s/St David’s day celebrations throughout England; these events will all be just symptoms of the ongoing national malaise in England that has allowed the rise of islamic and other woke contamination and corruption of everything that was once ‘English’.

Well said Jayell.
As an Englishman (living in Italy, educated at Oxford) it breaks my heart.

R, how fortunate you are to live in Italy, but I do see that Italy has changed since we lived there. And J, thanks for the background information.
Hoi Polloi says
It’s truly awful. One wonders if yet another purpose of the pandemic is to reset traditions while lying and hoping memories are shorter than a few years. If so, they demonstrate incredible contempt for the quality of mind they admit and educate; something I’ve observed all over the spectrum and with horrified fascination for the last few years.

Syrian refugee: Most refugees want to dominate Europe and destroy Christianity
By VOICE OF EUROPE 4 October 2018
In an interview with a German opinion magazine, a Syrian refugee speaks out about the real intentions of the refugees that came to Germany. The German editor changed his name to “Paul” for his protection.
And at the very top, in their importance, is at some point the capture of the Vatican to see the flag of Islam flying over the dome of St. Peter
“In fact, most of those refugees came to Europe in general and to Germany in particular, not because their lives were threatened, not because they were suppressed, persecuted, oppressed or because of racial or sectarian discrimination, (…) They came here for many other reasons,” Paul says.
When asked what he means by that, he answers:
“The first reason is clearly religious. The second reason financial. They came to Germany with the absolute certainty that it is wanted by their God, the only God (Allah).
Their God, the Muslim God, because they believe God’s religion is Islam, and that all other religions’ followers are infidels and deserve to be killed.”
OLD GUY says
I’ve said it many times these so called refugees are really a migration invasion of islam.

Everyone is surrendering to the far left. They are giving in on operations for sex changes of children. They are letting men compete as women. They are letting the left change election laws and procedures so they can easily win. They are allowing segregated universities. They are allowing racist anti-Jewish and anti-Christian propaganda from politicians in public campaigns. They are giving in on the border and illegal immigration. They are giving in on censorship. There seems to be nothing that is still sacred. Except leftism itself. Perhaps that should be the new slogan of the Conservatives. You have nothing to fear but Leftism itself. But that is hate speech. Isn’t it.

Speaking from personal experience. I can tell you that the same thing is happening in prison. ALL surveys, such as food, used to have a list of religions for inmates to tick. Up until recently christianity was top of the list followed by islam, JUdaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, (although there were no jains and no Jain priest) and other religions. No listing for the third biggest religion, Paganism however, even though they have chaplains. Presumably because it might upset the muslims?
Ramadan and eid is celebrated in prisons and special food is provided after sunset. That doesn`t stop muslims from having their canteen food however.
Also, most of the muslims also partake of christmas dinner and have all the holidays everyone else does.
I noticed that in the chapel, whenever Friday came around all the christian symbols, Pagans aren`t permitted any, such as the stations of the cross, the statue of Mary and the symbol of Jesus on the ctross were all taken down or covered up so as not to offend muslims. There`s lots more but I haven`t the time.
