"A student is suing Royal Holloway after being suspended for telling a fellow student she was wearing a tea towel a remark made in response to her calling him a wannabe Jew. Brodie Mitchell was suspended after the universitys serious misconduct panel ruled that his comment constituted offensive behaviour and was demeaning to an individual who had a religious head covering. While Brodie was given less than XX hours to vacate his student accommodation she was allegedly allowed to continue attending classes. This is a textbook example of two-tier justice in our academic institutions. Brodie was"

"Lucy Connolly the Northamptonshire mother who was arrested last year for a post on X has alleged that her 13-year-old daughter has been barred from attending her new school after the headteacher discovered Lucy was her mother. According to Lucys the schools reason for the decision was that racism doesnt go down well at the school and that my daughter being there would cause a ruckus. No child should be denied a place at their chosen school because of their parents actions or because teachers disagree with their views. Read more below 👇"

"🚨 Sign our petition to stop David Lammys assault on free speech @SpeechUnion is extremely concerned about David Lammys proposal to scrap the XXX year-old right to trial by jury. Juries are a bulwark of English liberty particularly the right to free speech. They are often the last line of defence against the authoritarian cancel-culture mob. We analysed Ministry of Justice data from 2017-25 comparing the acquittal rate for those charged with speech crimes in jury trials with non-jury trials and the results are quite startling. For all offences crown court juries acquitted XXXX per cent of the"

"General Secretary of the Free Speech Union Lord Young of Acton asked the Justice Minister in the House of Lords to guarantee that at least people accused of speech crimes have a right to a jury trial which is such an important bulwark of free speech. She declined. Trial by jury is a cornerstone of English liberty especially free speech. David Lammys plans amount to the biggest assault on our liberty in XXX years.

David Lammy wants to scrap the right to trial by jury a protection that dates back over XXX years to Magna Carta. Jury trials are a cornerstone of English liberty and a crucial safeguard for free speech.

The force logged a Non-Crime Hate Incident (NCHI) against Murdo after a member of the public complained about a gender-critical post he had made on X.

"The person who repeated sections of that essay even added things I never wrote like Jewish nose and slanty eyes. Kate Clanchy is an award-winning author teacher and poet who endured one of the most public and aggressive cancellations in recent cultural history. In a series of vicious attacks online critics made false claims about her work and accused her bestselling memoir Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me of racism and ableism sparking an unprecedented pile-on.

The ex-Royal Marine has been banned from working with children including coaching his daughters football team for dehumanising the triple murderer. This is a disgrace.

"Instead of abolishing an 800-year-old right the Justice Secretary should be putting more safeguards in place to protect ordinary citizens from state overreach. Juries are more likely than magistrates or judges to acquit across the board and thats especially true for speech offences. Defendants who justify their actions on free-speech grounds are almost twice as likely to be acquitted in a Crown Court with a jury than in a magistrates court without one.
