Someone please tell me that this isn't true and is some kind of piss take. Or that there is more to the story or something.

The world really has gone mad.

So Angelos decided to pitch up at the event anyways.

"I attended the debate as an audience member and after the audience's demand I joined the panel. Three people had a civilized debate, exchanged criticisms, added to each other's points, and enjoyed a healthy and productive dialogue with the audience".

The risk of public disorder which the Students Union previously assessed as "highly likely" did not occur.

Good for him!

Interesting comments about ‘security concerns’ being the new deplatforming.

For your own safety, we can’t allow you to think. Be fearful. You’re easier to control.

The Bristol Post covered this: www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/student-trans-row-banned-bristol-2536648

'Despite the SU deeming Mr Sofocleous’ attendance as “high risk”, the University Security Services had informed the Free Speech Society “they were not at all consulted by the SU on the matter”.'

So the Bristol SU are lying? They just made up the 'security risk' and never spoke to the university security services? Something seems really dodgy here...

YY. Both Meghan Murphy's talks in Canada, arguably Leeds WPUK, this, and others.

Well done Angelos, though!
