We must represent the views of both those who are completely right and those who are completely wrong, especially the latter.

"Critics claim sun rises on most days"

Fine people on both sides, Ben, come on.

Fine people on both sides, BBC, but funnily only one side is going to fight for you to not be defunded. That would not be the 'Misogyny against men is wrong too' brigade.

No bloody wonder they want to destroy C4.

The silence of academics is ultimately their undoing. Over and over again, the profession has failed itself by keeping quiet in the face of audacious nonsense.

Everywhere, and heaven knows I know what of I speak, donors, i.e. millionaires and billionaires, determining what can or cannot be said or studied or researched or taught. And if there aren't actual donor threats, management will pretend there is. As I well know

In the face of this fantastical breach of ethics at Yale, we notice the very loud silence of....the Cancel Culture Brigade. It's as if it was never really about academic freedom.

Churchill College's Master, Athene Donald has disbanded the Working Group on Churchill, Race, and Empire. The third event in the series--on commemoration--did not get held due to pressure from the Churchill family & Policy Exchange, & the college taking fright after the backlash

..to the second event in February.

Members of the Working Group (I was) were told that they had dissolved themselves (untrue) & that in any case, they had been constituted for a limited time (also not something they had been told).

Cancel culture is real & disgraceful. Giving in to it is worse.

NO PASARAN. Stand up to them. You & I will have to be cause the establishment will cave. And remember--activists for gender equality are not necessarily allies in the battle for racial justice.
