Such "malicious behaviour" was even worse when the pandemic made it difficult for students to meet in person and support each other, said the LGBT associations' statement.
"The fact that this was not simply an individual acting alone, but rather a co-ordinated attack from a number of people, is a reminder of how routinely unsafe and unwelcome our community is made to feel," said the LGBT groups, which warned of a "toxic culture" at the university.mocked over their northern accentsLast month, Durham University condemned what it called "utterly abhorrent" comments on social media by students set to start at the university.
"Such behaviour is not acceptable at Durham University and will not be tolerated. Incidents will be reported to the police. "Every member of the university is expected to treat others with respect and tolerance so that every member of our community can live, study and work in a safe and inclusive environment," said Mr Dale.
What is going on at this uni? It’s the second negative story in the last few days!
My guess would be, Hatfield, Uni, or another Rah college. Has always been the same at Durham.
Durham uni needs to find and expel all of these students engaging in these hate crimes recently. Hold them accountable and set an example. The stuff I am hearing come out at the moment is disgusting.
Dr. Li-Meng Yan shows the evidences in her two short reports that the coronavirus was manufactured and spread intentionally by the Chinese Communist Party. Click Amen00777 to read the 2 reports.
Wait until they get this guy as their guest lecturer!
Unbelievable, being in the mainstream means you need to toughen up. Life isn’t easy for anyone, especially at the moment.
And so..
Who cares
Unfortunately Zoombombing across the board is now so common, it has its own Wikipedia entry
Use Teams. More locked into a domain
This actually made main stream news!!!!! Must be Covid and brexit quiet day
This is awful. No different from a physical meeting being stormed by people shouting insults.
Upsetting for the 15 people involved but hardly newsworthy
Well they’d have gone really apeshit growing up in Northern Ireland in the troubles. I can remember at least 3 occasions as a secondary school pupil our bus home was hijacked, pulled across the road and burnt. We were left to make our own way home through rioting.
Time for these delicate flowers to grow up
Not sure who is more crazy - woke Academia or woke BBC? DefundTheBBC
Homophobia, racism, general hateful language isn't nice in any regard. However, From experience, people will take the piss out of anything to get a rise out of you. If you were empowered enough to be open, then be empowered to ignore. You are adding fuel to the fire with this.
How on earth can you class this as news? Someone said something mean over the Internet. Welcome to the Internet!
The world is a vile, hateful place to be right now. My heart goes out to all those students affected by these little spiteful c*nts.

I'm amazed Durham is getting more bad press than Exeter for once.
Local Durham news.
Durham, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Oh, dear couldn't they find the off button, though students were supposed to be smart. Oh and bbcnew is this the best news you can come up with
(1/3) Hi everyone, I’m one of the social secretaries for the group in which this incident took place. I understand people’s view that we should’ve had a more protected/ passworded meeting- this is something we will do from now onwards.
'unsafe.'
Are these LGBT students deliberately trying to make people homophobic towards them?
Too many young people are easily offended 🙄 grow a spine this world will throw worse shit at you!!
Did JeffreyToobin show up?
Why was there even a meeting based upon people's sexual preferences? Bizarre.
Seems to me that durham_uni is a breeding ground for privately educated racist homophobic bullies - get your house in order and kick them out 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Predictable horrible replies. May all your meetings be crashed by aggressive queens.
This is awful and shocking. My thoughts are with these poor students who suffered such hateful and personal abuse. The university should investigate how this was allowed to happen, find the perpetrators and exclude them. This should be tackled head on.
I don’t feel safe after a vindaloo on a Saturday night but it doesn’t make the news .
If you feel threatened by pixels on a screen you're a special kind of coward.
remove them from the meeting? or just leave the meeting?
'Unsafe' - oh good grief, grow a spine and grow up.
First they hijacked a Zoom meeting and I did nothing......
dont cry
lol
Are these comments actually from real people 🥴🥴🥴 have a thread of humanity ffs
Crashing an open LGBTQ zoom to shout homophobic stuff, a bet to sleep with the 'poorest girl', mocking poor students & ppl with northern accents. They say it has no place, but it's been the culture at these top unis forever & they let it carry on unpunished all that time.
Yeah, how about; instead of everyone offering suggestions of computer security, we start discussing the fact that this shouldn't have happened in the first place?
Went to Durham Uni. Three great years, excellent cross section of students of all ages and backgrounds. Never heard of any discrimination whatsoever.
Ha nancies stop being dramatic
Do they ever feel unsafe watching a movie?
Toobin! I knew it!
That's why some seem to be using Teams which can more easily restrict to uni account's only
fake news of course
mute them? take off your headphones? close your eyes?
You can remove participants on Zoom. Why didn't they do that? Too hard?
Did they ever think of passwording the meeting?
Stop claiming people are 'unsafe' if they don't feel happy.
Someone told me to fuck off in the street yesterday, who do I contact at the BBC
Is this satire?
Get better security
Threatened and unsafe in Durham - you're having a laugh. One the nicest places in the North east.
Whwn will Toobin stop streaking havoc ?
How is virtual attacking real? Just close your eyes lmao
Pathetic
