Universities ordered to guarantee free speech

in #news7 years ago

So there's some positive news for once coming out of the UK if this actually goes through, somebody finally has decided to grow some balls in the UK government and put an end to all this safe space, de-platforming shite that has been going on in UK universities for years. Oddly enough, aside from the new statesmen writing a rant about this which is really ridiculous so I don't find it worth commenting on, there hasn't been very much coverage on this issue aside from the Daily Mail and a couple of other websites that bothered to report it.

I don't know whether they'll be taking time to have a look at it or something, but this is the first time I've genuinely seen this government stand up for free speech, now if only somebody would do something about Amber Rudd and her stupid attempts at getting people in jail for viewing things online she doesn't like.
