Such a basic Theory of Mind failure. It almost makes me wonder if you shouldn’t be allowed on Twitter unless you can pass some kind of multiple-choice Ideological Turing Test…

If you're in Cardiff next Thursday, do try to come to our event on academic freedom, featuring Jo Phoenix, Naomi Waltham-Smith and Nigel Biggar.

We've had great difficulty putting this event on and support is immensely appreciated.

Really great to speak at Parliament SEEN with Maya Forstater and talk about the hundreds of cases where The Free Speech Union has defended people who refused to go along with trans ideology when it was fashionable.

HR still really needs to get the message that GC beliefs ARE protected.

1/3 This is an important point. Passing on security costs is a common tactic used by universities against events perceived to be controversial. However the HEFOSA requires universities to maintain a Code of Practice (from Aug 1) setting out the criteria for doing so. 🧵

Great to see this event going ahead!

When Cardiff University decided the event wasn't 'internal' (despite being organised by Cardiff academics), it meant the organisers having to pay £1,500 for security and venue hire.

That looked a lot like an attempt to make the event

Be honest. You changed the title because you are total drips and didn’t have the courage to say no to a handful of mad Americans.

FSU Head Toby Young visited Scotland this week and almost got his collar felt by the Hate Monster! While there he made this short video about the draconian new law. If you’re an FSU supporter and you live in Scotland, now might be a good time to join us.

It is incredible how many employers *still* do not understand that gender critical beliefs are protected in law.

We continue to get new cases at The Free Speech Union (several per week) where employers have totally failed to grasp that this view, held by the majority, is protected.

I just joined the UK The Free Speech Union because protecting free inquiry on controversial topics, such as those that Dr. Nathan Cofnas is studying, is the only kind of free speech protection that matters.
