One that we'll have to disagree on.
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 clearly don’t care about it anyway. Absolute dictionary definition.
What cake? Suspension is a standard part of investigation. You've gone from sharing racist Facebook groups to embracing cancel culture and being woke. Hell of a turnaround.Well Labour have suspended him so must be something in it.
You can’t have your cake and eat it!!
Seems like a nice piece of work!!

I do wonder how it works in practice. Surely you have a finite amount of booking slots, and have the right to book who you want?!?Freedom of speech = freedom to deplatform, there is no inherent right of anybody to be given time to speak to students. It is down to the freedom of the university to decide (with steer from students). More culture war drivel that you're lapping up.

But that's just it, you don't book in the first place, then!It’s more people who are booked then cancelled rather than people being booked at all.

The cancellations have been done thanks to popular priest, and I don't agree with that as such - go along and get a free heckle - but all that'll happen is there'll be no risk taken in who they book.
It'll be even more lefty!
I agree with the rest btw.

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 free speech. FFS they get triggered whenever the opposition opposes them. Bunch of thin skinned snowflakes that they are.
Are these things cancelled because the booker has had some moral epiphany or because they are worried about running the event safely? Seems unworkable, venue says we can't put this event on and guarantee everyone's safety and security - what happens then?It’s more people who are booked then cancelled rather than people being booked at all.

That’s shocking. Imagine the outrage on here if it was a Tory.

Point of order, but many universities don't have a campus, they have buildings in public spaces - so you'd struggle to stop randomers congregating there.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 never understand the MPs who only limit responses to people following them etc. I mean, the whole point of twitter is dialogue surely and of course you'll get a fair few morons calling you a wanker, and a fair number blowing smoke up your arse but... you can filter them / hide them if you must, but allow people to respond to whatever you put up, as how else can people feed bck to you?!?Just found out I’m blocked by my new Tory MP on Twitter.
Cancel culture is real.

It might not be the most popular view, but I really like our electoral system (FPTP). It produces disproportionate winners and losers, but it mostly allows for strong governance. You have the odd decade where parliament is weak (1970s and 2010s).
To take 2019 as an example, you’ve had the stress of Brexit on the electorate and parliamentary deadlock with no end in sight. The strong Tory majority allowed the country to finally see Brexit through and alleviate what was becoming a toxic political environment. That’s the beauty of majoritarian electoral systems.
On the continent, proportional representative systems lead to more fragmented political systems, and that’s not a good thing. Frankly, would we want the political system of Germany, Spain, Portugal and Italy? Germany has had a grand coalition for most of the 2010s because neither major party had a coalition partner it found acceptable.
I’m not a Tory, nor a Brexiteer.

Says the bloke who thinks Voter ID cards are necessary... because of 6 cases of voter fraud out of 30 odd million votes
Course you don’t agree with voter ID. It would guarantee a Tory government for the next 25 years
This is perfectly normal behaviour...
Hopefully for the next 100 yearsCourse you don’t agree with voter ID. It would guarantee a Tory government for the next 25 years
