Good to see after Alice Thomson's defense of no-platforming in the same paper today.

Wow - that's the most explicit statement of the problem I've seen in a mainstream newspaper. She even mentions the tweets suggesting dissenting women should be forced to choke on "lady d**k."

Brava Jenni.

Ah, sorry OP. I dd check to see if someone has started a thread about this but must have been posting mine as yours went live. Could not agree more that this is all the more welcome after AT’s dreadful article this morning.

Brilliant brilliant article!! I'm so happy to read this! Well done to Jenni Russel and well done to the Times. She covered so much of what has been happening and the public needs to know.

It's ok StandUp it deserves all the attention it gets.

I have never seen comments come in as quickly as on that AT article.

Igneococcus me neither. Last time I looked there were over 900 comments, with 98% of them just incredulous. Apart from the fact that I thoroughly disagree with her viewpoint, it was just terribly badly argued. I’m afraid she deserves the criticism she received.

There was the occasional comment saying she was absolutely right. She did give up replying after about 10 minutes.

Are you talking about comments under the Times article? It only says there is one comment there when I look at it.

Getting on for a thousand under Alice's terrible article, only one so far under Jenni's (appreciative, with sixty odd likes!)
