So now it's debatable whether a professor of English at Cambridge should speak at another university!!!!

The proggy Left has brought us to this - freedom to discuss ideas at a university is now debatable.

But without the actual debate.

There is lively debate.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Do you think Ms. Greer's comments have gone unchallenged? And undefended?

As long as it's not on campus.

Twitter debate is no debate.

Elements of the transgender community

SPLITTERS!!!!!

How laughable can you get?? Transgender community? Do they have tea and biscuits every Tuesday? With 'elements' unhappy about the ginger snaps, wanting scotch fingers instead? Miz Jenner, declare your preference!!!

Transgender community?? The 'doctor, cut my balls off, they disgust me' community? Is that like the 'lone wolf jihadi' community? (nuffin to do wiv balls OR jihad, of course)

From intolerance to intolerance.

When Germaine Greer was an activist, the young people wanted to change things to get rid of intolerance.
Today, through social media bullying, they want to change things to impose a new era of intolerance - the intolerance of any ideas and freedoms that are not adjudged to conform with the new ideals of mob rule.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.
