    Quite. I would have thought students getting together and making a noise about fascists and racists (or crypto versions) speaking at their university, having votes on it, and having demos, are examples of free speech.

    It's the same tired old right wing playbook pushed in america (turning point etc). The long term goal is to try and correct the political deficit (as they see it) in universities - facts and research still just seem to be stubbornly too left wing for them - they tried bypassing them by inventing their own fake versions ('think' tanks), but i think now they're going to approach it by trying to make even more of the public into shallow idiots using social media psychometry doodads or whatever (like in the social dilemma film) (raa raa hell in a handcart! maybe i'm just getting old).
