        It's a worrying. You'd think of all places, free speech in universities would be encouraged. Apart from welcoming diverse thoughts, if no-one speaks freely, then you can't identify wrong OR right trends: civil rights suffragism fascism capitalism communism the list is endless

        and of course there's always the possibility that one's MIND can be expanded... perish the thought, wot? At a university, of all places! LOL Strikes me that those who try to limit free speech (legal free speech that is) have their own agendas to follow......

        Is this a trick question? Or is the BBC just trying to gaslight us that this is even debatable? (This will be way over the head of the 22yo BBC staffer who penned this inane guff)

        I mean really this is as bad as that "I'm black I like my hair" tripe they pimped at us for months...."Long read"...."In case you missed it". The current BBC is not standing on the shoulders of giants...they are merely trying to tie their shoelaces. Dreadful state of affairs.

        If the @BBCNewsUK0 is asking, there must be a problem, since it's a government mouthpiece. 😕

        The left are stripping the country of free speech and turning people into idiots who cannot think for themselves and are violent towards anyone with their own opinion. Well, screw them, I am an individual & will voice my opinion & do not care if they don't like it.

        The level #BBC ha sunk. No credibility at all, and nearly all the comments are negative. People have finally realised that @BBC is no more than a lying machine without any reliability.
