Talk on 'The Scientific Importance of Free Speech' by @AdamPerkinsPhD cancelled by King's College London under threat of violence by antifa 'protesters'. God forbid KCL should provide adequate security for free speech that's literally about free speech.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5511647/Lecturer-banned-giving-talk-free-speech.html …

I have experienced this kind of thing. I haven't written about it for fear of retaliation. But soon I will have my PhD and I will write a Quillette essay on this.

Great! (Not that you were worried about retaliation from speech, but that you're going to write an essay at Quillette?) If you can discuss at all, what did the issue concern? I've personally found Phil depts to be the freest but YMMV. Was it a content issue?
