An English university would think twice about doing what Cardiff has done, given the OfS is consulting on freedom of speech and its Regulatory Advice 24 at the moment, and the regulation of new duties to promote free speech. The guidance even includes examples about provision of security at events. Given it has a government that postures itself as so progressive and righteous, Wales is quickly falling behind the times and appears increasingly authoritarian and oppressive at each turn. Wishing you luck.

Well done on both of these Thomas! I look forward to the book. Also I saw the press release from the FSU earlier today but didn't realise it was your event, lol.

wish I could be there! Sounds great and I was in Wales once -- including a few days in Cardiff -- and just loved it.

It's alarming and dispiriting how authoritarian the identitarian leftish has become, since it took control of education and other institutions.

What frustrates me most is how it funnels free expression advocates into being connected with less responsible free speech advocacy, such as that espoused by Toby Young, who is often irresponsible in exercising his own.

The enemy of my enemy etc isn't a sustainable position, but I'm wishing CAFA all the best.
