nothing, you damaged free speech and proved the bully can get away with
anything. You are a silly stupid little girl who has been brain washed. Your
university Dons should be ashamed of themselves for giving in to brain dead
fools who think their opinion trumps every one else's right to say what they
believe. And like the immature child you are you have to trumpet the damage
you have done to the right of free speech from the roof tops. Albert

Dear albert,
We did it! Last night, because of 38 Degrees members, Donald Trump was
stripped of his honorary degree from a Scottish University. [1] He’s a
self-serving billionaire, whose racist, sexist beliefs fly in the face of
equality. [2] He’s using fear, hatred and division to try to win power. Trump
stands for everything we don’t.
When British institutions decorate people like Trump with awards and honours,
it says to the world that they are someone important: a role model, someone
worth listening to. Yesterday, we stripped him of an honour and showed the
world what 38 Degrees members think of his hate-filled opinions.
We’ve proved that 38 Degrees members won’t sit back when we see injustice -
however big or small. But let’s be honest: we’ve got plenty more fights ahead.
Our NHS is under attack, tax dodgers are still getting away with it, and big
business is still determined to push through the TTIP trade deal.
38 Degrees members decide what we do together. Can you fill out this quick
survey and help decide what 38 Degrees should campaign on together next?
| TAKE THE SURVEY |
Here’s how we won this campaign together:
38 Degrees member Suzanne kick-started a petition on Campaigns by You when she
discovered Trump held an honorary degree from a university in Scotland. [3] She
shared the campaign with her family and friends - and when Trump’s hate-filled
comments about Muslims caused uproar and hit the headlines, it snowballed.
As Suzanne watched her huge petition grow, 38 Degrees members applied more
pressure on the head of the university by emailing him in our thousands. We
flooded the university with tweets, asking for the degree to be revoked.
And when it seemed like the head of the university was wavering, we gave him
the final nudge he needed by making hundreds of phone calls together. The
university was overwhelmed, and quickly announced they had stripped Trump of
the honour!
Here’s what 38 Degrees member Suzanne said about the victory:
“If anyone ever doubts the point of petitions, show them what 76,000 people did
yesterday. I want to give my sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to
stand up, and I applaud the university for doing the right thing”.
Our campaign victory is splashed all over the papers this morning. [4] We’re
part of a growing tide of opposition all over the world to Trump and his
divisive agenda. And it’s causing ripples across the pond too - in America,
Time Magazine and CBS are already writing about it. [5] We’ve sent a clear
message to Trump and those who share his views: Britain simply won’t stand for
it.
38 Degrees members decide what we should campaign on together - whether that’s
taking a presidential hopeful down a peg or two, or protecting our NHS. Can you
fill out this quick survey to help us decide what we should do together next?
