Ooops!
My headline should have referred to 'Cambs,' not 'Berks.'
'Cambs' is the UK abbreviation for Cambridgeshire, 'Berks' for Berkshire...
...though berks is also the plural of berk, short for Berkshire Hunt and a very rude example of Cockney rhyming slang.
But to the issue, an on-going issue, alas...
Woops! Cambridge Takes Another Woke-Wallow!
..which is the continuing degradation of a once-illustrious university.
Most British, especially English, people know well that Essex, Sussex and Middlesex were the lands of the East, South and Middle tribes of Saxons, and East Anglia speaks for itself.
Hengist and Horsa may or may not be mythical figues, but between AD400 and 500 large numbers of Angles, Saxons and Jutes crossed the North Sea from their Germanic homes, defeated the Britons abandoned by Rome - and more and more followed them, gradually creating kingdoms.
Anglo-Saxons then ruled till 1066, when the Normans dropped by.

But today?
Anglo-Saxons aren't real, Cambridge tells students in effort to fight 'nationalism'
Since when is it a university's job to fight nationalism?
Does 'Cambridge' put similar 'effort' into fighting marxism?
Oh, and...

...,get this!
University aims to 'dismantle the myths' around British and English identities as it seeks to make its teaching more 'anti-racist'

Teaching should be about imparting facts, disregarding wokery, 'anti-racist' hang-ups and political correctness.

It should not be about bending truth leftwards or rightwards.
