The girl in the case lied about #JesuisSamuel showing the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, but his slaughter was ignored by Universities UK and all teacher unions. It’s a shameful moment in UK history. We will not and did not forget. afaf.org.uk/remember-samue…

Attacking freedom of expression in name of protecting certain identity groups is a free, cheap policy-change that can make a cash-strapped Gov feel they're doing something meaningful. Performative & dangerous. #FreeSpeech not safe in their hands. No to #blasphemy laws.

Posted in King's College London student paper Roar this week. Engineering students have been made to feel “continuously ignored” and as if they’d “be in trouble” by their department for questioning a project where 70% of their module grade rested on designing a product for LGBTQ+

@ctredgett_ King's College London As a mature student on the course, I can confirm. Although I suspect my submission, along with my pal Fatima, won’t be quite what they expected.

This looks like the unlawfully discriminatory denial of service on the basis of protected philosophical beliefs. I would also suspect that such conduct would be relevant for accountancy standards of professional practice and may be a matter for the regulator.

See below an article that the University of Exeter’s Exeposé has written about me. When asked for comment, the Exeter LGBTQ society said: “We are disappointed that Exeposé has chosen to platform someone with such hateful and transphobic views in this article.” The author goes

Many universities, ours included, have based policy and practice on the authoritarian, thought-policing definition formerly peddled by Stonewall and other groups. Employees have been trained to believe any refusal to accept gender-identity beliefs as fact is transphobic. 1/2

Excellent meeting today with our @UniLancs members, chats over coffee and lunch about frustrations and avenues for awareness raising. If you are staff or student there or at Lancaster University and are interested in freedom of speech for academics, get in touch!
