She came out of that looking bad.

The disingenuousness is so manipulative. Yes of course I want to no platform people who think we’re all rapists (no one ever said that), it’s the same as when they said gays would be paedophiles -co-opting completely unrelated historical homophobia.

Then trying to tell that woman the reason Goldsmiths cancelled was because no ticket sales. She wasn’t having it though. Good for her.

Oh dear. I’m not sure she realises quite how nasty and unprofessional she came across

Raging here too. Can't find the words to express how very angry this has made me. I've had to switch it off, Paris Lee's making me boil with rage.

No, that was vile. But the comedian stood her ground well I thought.

I’m not happy about the way that Paris one attacked Smurfitt.

I'm fuming by myself on the sofa.
