If you still think "At least they're not as bad as the Tories" 🙄 -
The University of Sussex is fined ÂŁ585,000 because some of their students demonstrated against the rabidly transphobic Kathleen Stock.
Of course Liebour are fully in favour of allowing institutionalised hate speech against trans, intersex and non-binary people:
' Education secretary Bridget Phillipson said free speech and academic freedom were “non-negotiables” in universities and “robust action will be taken” if they are not upheld.
“If you go to university, you must be prepared to have your views challenged, hear contrary opinions and be exposed to uncomfortable truths,” she said. “We are giving the OfS stronger powers on freedom of speech so students and academics are not muzzled by the chilling effect demonstrated in this case.
