If that space is outside the lecture theatre, then fine. But shouting down a speaker is against free speech principles.

I don't try and educate you about British government.

I have not once mentioned your government. I am talking abt the principle of free speech.

I don't think those students handled that properly, so we are in agreement. But Murray's rights were not violated.

.@JoshuaBHayes1 Not abt rights! I'd have the right to say I disbelieve in gods in US but not in KSA. Principle is that I *shld* be able to.
