        Sounds like someone can't tell the difference between a university and a student's union. The article can't name one example of a university enacting a no-platform policy, spends all its time talking about the NUS, which will be completely unaffected by these fines.

        It's just gesture politics designed to appeal to the Tory base that could well alienate young people even more, lol

        Best way to win a voting bloc is to belittle them and label them censorious crybabies who are destroying democracy, right?

        Think I read that the Conservative Parry severed ties with all student Conservative associations too because they kept embarrassing them

        ‘No platforming’ has always been around and will probably find ways to continue. Isn’t #Brexit the elephant in the room here, with universities being dominated by academics and students who are Remainers?

        In general, the freedom of speech should be protected and respected. But freedom of speech doe not mean that people can publicize anything when they want, some anti-human theory and racism should be control even banned if these kinds of speech happened.

        Actually free speech means exactly that. We are free to say and to listen to whatever things we like. Who are you to decide what I can listen to?

        Finally, someone said loud about political correctness in our universities. Every side should be represented and present. Good speech

        If you want freedom of speech then you just have to accept that sometimes someone will say something you don’t like, you just challenge it through debate.

        I am afraid we are now reaping the consequences of parents & teachers rearing a generation of "no criticism, no competition" children! They are now emerging ill-equipped for the inevitable hard knocks of adult life, believing that anyone who disagrees with them must be silenced.

        This is an excellent move. Universities often get politically dominated by a tiny bunch of radical activists whose views are unrepresentative of the broader student body. Students need to learn to critique and argue, not have their ears blocked for them by political controllers.

        A rich tory is dictating how the rest of us peasants should live. Never seen one of those before.

        And that’s exactly the mindset that is the problem, this weird view that discussion is somehow inherently political or taking place to further an agenda, sometimes idea just need to be talked about and challenged

        Surely @JoJohnsonUK must realise the paradox. Students are using their freedom of expression and he wants to punish unis when they do!

        It’s not really a paradox. A uni is a place of ideas and opinions. Attendance is also voluntary.

        If you don’t let someone speak in the first place it’s not allowing the freedom of expression

        It is allowing the non-speakers' freedom of expression hence the paradox 😊

        They can still protest, they just can’t stop the speaker from turning up and speaking
