I can’t see one. This scenario displays the difficulties associated with not dictating the approved thinking in academia. It’s not UK based but the TA has been castigated for being transphobic and inciting hatred. Really shows that you can be no-platformed in a grammar class, if you don’t ‘contextualize’ a debate (by making it clear which viewpoint you should be aligning with). I found the audio pretty horrific. No sense of irony that the university representatives were literally advocating the demise of free thought in terms of academic expectations.

It has been discussed. She's done a great service in exposing this. However, she does seem to be associating herself with the Right and I'm not sure where she's hoping to take this.

On balance though, more power to her elbow.

Sure. There was this short thread:

If you want more information on this university, I'd recommend Benjamin Boyce's videos on YouTube.
e.g.

He's on the right, or was perhaps forced to the right by attending a U.S. college with a very strong SJW (perhaps in British translation akin to Momentum) ideology.
