Green I was, but sadly couldn't cope with it. This is the second time in recent weeks that on the BBC they have said no platforming is really to stop terrorist sympathisers. Hmm

Yes, I saw that. I thought she came across well.

Annoying to hear the vulnerable transwomen argument brought out as a defence without being challenged. Not saying they're not a vulnerable group but I don't think a talk/debate would contribute to it and the suicide rates being higher bollocks really needs to be challenged.

The NUS guy was annoying- trying to conflate banning people from proscribed terrorist organisations with no platforming people like Linda Bellos. Also when he tried to say no platforming was the same as him not being invited on hundreds of other programmes!

Can you say which programme it was and maybe link to it on Catchup?

It was on Victoria Derbyshire. I'll have a look for a link.

Linda comes across really well.
If Linda Bellos isnt considered a minority as a Black Lesbian, then who is? Confused
