It’s where Tom Daley comes from

Safety is always the reason given. If you ask me any student involved in making an event unsafe should be expelled and trespassers on campus should be prosecuted. That would stop it pretty quickly.

I’m sure Toby Young’s Free Speech Union is on the case, and I bet the government will have something to say with their new crusade against cancel culture.

That’s their problem. They like employer freedom but not that employer freedom, they want to shut down speech they don’t like but don’t like others doing the same. They’re an essentially illiberal government trying a free speech grift, but the fundamentally can’t deliver as they don’t believe in...

It’s more people who are booked then cancelled rather than people being booked at all. The problem is a workplace rights issue. Lecturers have a right to work without harassment and all workers have a right to an employer who doesn’t sack them for a mild Twitter post. If the government really...

Labour suspend everyone for everything, 90% of Labour internal politics is concocting racism/sexism/transphobia/homophobia scandals to kick the other faction.

Because she’s a high profile BAME Labour politician. You’re just as bad!

No, I’ve had the same argument with people on the left. I hate this pretend offence by people pretending they don’t understand how language works.

Why do you think that statement is wrong? It’s such bullshit and obviously factional. There’s nothing racist about saying the Home Secretary should be deported when she deporting people. It’s a standard insult.

But that’s the point. There’s been a couple of high profile “deplatofrming” incidents, and this wouldn’t have stopped them. Meanwhile the government are deplatforming anyone with views they don’t like in academia. It’s total virtue signalling. Will do nothing to address the problem and they...

Im going to get the second. I also do not want the U.K. to throw its vaccine stockpile into the bin.

People get respect, ideas don’t.

Then who will it give protection to? It doesn’t override the EA or hate speech laws. Government by virtue signalling. Just like with ID cards.

Nah, I had antibodies already.

There’s no balance. The economics and the public health both agree that you need to control the virus and that you will have to live with it at a certain level. The idea that you make the economy thrive by scaring the shit out of consumers is one of the weirder ones of the pandemic...

OK I was 39 and 363 days but I got AZ.

Been vaccinated mate. Chuck the rest in the bin for all I care.

They can have AZ can’t they? That’s why you do U30s now when we’re stocking up anyway IMO. Someone’s got to be last and as a unique brand of healthy and no social life why not early 30s? :D

Agree and not surprised to see a Tory take the personal responsibility angle ;) In seriousness though, public health works with the world as it is and should take into account the fact people won’t do as they’re told. Apparently we have built up several million doses (7m I think?) of Pfizer...

Got to start using up that stockpile we’ve been building on 18-30s in hotspot areas of you ask me. And stop Fucking letting people from virus hotspots into the country.
