So-called clever graduates look like f**king idiots in their stupid gowns

UNIVERSITY leavers who claim to be smart all look incredibly dumb as they swish through cities in their ridiculous twat’s gowns.

Academics who have spent three years reading dense books and passing difficult exams are flaunting their apparent intelligence by parading through city centres in robes and mortarboards that make them look like complete morons.

Onlooker Wayne Hayes said: “They could just as easily pick up their degrees in jeans and a T-shirt. If they don’t realise that they must be thick as shit.

“I’m no intellectual, but £50 to rent a garment that guarantees you look a knobhead when you’re already 50 grand in debt seems like a foolish move. I’d understand if they looked sharp and celebrated something useful like getting your forklift licence.

“But what do I know? I’m just an ordinary guy who got his City & Guilds plumbing qualification via email while watching Pointless in my underwear. Perhaps it’d make sense if I were earning far less and had to make loan repayments for the next 30 years.

“And my brother’s a brickie and he says no way could you mix mortar on one of them boards.” 

Graduate James Bates said: “This is the proudest and most humiliating day of my life. I’m so glad it’ll be captured in a photo that will stay on my parent’s mantlepiece forever.”

Taking the knee was never actually going to fix racism, Lionesses told

KNEELING before football games was not a mechanism by which racism would be eliminated entirely, the England women’s squad have been informed. 

The Lionesses are to stop taking a knee before games because racist abuse on social media made it clear it was not eradicating racism from football or society, which it was never capable of nor intended to do.

Football fan Hannah Tomlinson said: “I like the way the team thinks. It’s direct and goal-focused and demonstrates why they’ve been so successful. It’s also wrong.

“Kneeling was a show of solidarity, a gesture, a protest, and not guaranteed to reduce racism either for any individual match or cumulatively. It’s only been going on five years. Racism’s been around a fair bit longer.

“Obviously I wish them well with finding a more effective way to tackle racism, but I admit my hopes aren’t high. I fear it’s beyond even their prodigious footballing abilities. Or indeed anyone’s.

“They’d have more chance stopping social media, but even that wouldn’t end racism. I’m reliably informed it pre-dates it.”

She added: “We’re not really racist about the Germans any more. That’s progress.”
