They are also after AFAF, @ProfDHayes @drianpace and David Collins. Intimidation and threats won’t work. What matters in the academy are reason and debate, not childish tantrums @CityStGeorges @CityUniAFAF @profserious @officestudents @lucaf_london @StudentAFAF @postgradafaf
I am sure that @profserious and @CityStGeorges will protect him and his freedom of speech. We will @CityUniAFAF @postgradafaf @StudentAFAF @acadofideas @LivingFreedomUK @lucaf_london

Yes. It should never have been necessary.
Sad that this was ever necessary but it's a huge win for #freespeech, academic freedom and common sense. Congratulations to #ArifAhmed @AFAF_freespeech et al.
This should be reposted far and wide.

"the litigious" ie those upholding their rights under Equality Act 2010

"harmful" ie I got found out

"A spokesman for the @OpenUniversity said: 'We don’t comment on cases post-settlement...'"
Post-settlement?
Two years ago, pre-settlement, they told the same paper that "ongoing legal proceedings" meant they could not "comment further at this time".

Defending #AcademicFreedom at UCL is currently time consuming and frustrating. But it could be worse. @cardiffuni is determined to demo the need for the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act and @SpeechUnion ‘s Mactaggart scheme! Looking forward to speaking at this:
Organizing this event was challenging. Cardiff University continues to treat CAFA as an external organization and this entails a £300 room hire cost. This follows £1,500 in room hire and security costs for last year’s event.
