Important. The Scottish Poetry Library is a wonderful institution that gives heft and depth to the literary revival in Scotland. It's also recently become one of the first institutions in the UK to state unequivocally it will defend freedom of expression.
2./ As giant academic institutions across the country succumb to a culture of bullying, cancelling and no-platforming (yes Edinburgh University we're looking at you and your shameful behaviour) this little but perfectly formed and brave institution has said, "No.!"
3./ After a Scottish Inquisition of trans activists bullied women poets and artists and tried to enforce their doctrines the Library has issued an uncompromising endorsement of free speech and says it will suspend bulllies. So you know what to do.
4./ It's important that people who believe in the protection of Scotland's rich literary heritage and the fostering of new creative voices defend the Library and @AsifKhanSPL I'll be donating. I hope you will too. Please donate here:- scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/donate/
5./ To be clear the library takes no stance either way on the gender wars or biological sex versus gender. That's not the point. Both sides have the right to argue, debate and tear each other's points apart critically. No one has the right to bully or close down expression.
