UNIVERSITY College Dublin declared independence from the Republic of Ireland, The Harpy has learned. It is understood that President Andrew Deeks did this under “Delegated Authority” between meetings of the Governing Authority.

In an email to all students, Andrew Deeks announced that he was changing his title from ‘President’ to ‘God Emperor’. Sources close to Irish President Micheal D. Higgins say he has welcomed the move, allegedly rejoicing “Good riddance to the little Aussie bastard”.

When The Harpy asked God Emperor Deeks what motivated this surprise move, he replied “Why be a president, when you can be a god?” When asked if this was symptomatic of a Napoleon Complex, God Emperor Deeks denied the allegation, adding, unprovoked, that the platform shoes he had purchased on expenses were “for one of my mates”. UCD did not formally reply to any further requests for comment from The Harpy, instead sending single line emails which read “Get fucked, you nerd!”
