Public meeting to be held on Saturday, June 6, 2015, 1:00pm 4:00pm, Sheffield (venue to be announced).
Following on from the successful event on 28 February in Nottingham, Julie Bindel will again be talking about the No Platforming of Radical Feminists, followed by more than an hour of questions and discussions.

We are trying to make this event as inclusive and productive as possible and get as many people involved in this as we can, with all viewpoints. To do this, it is incredibly important that we can have a respectful dialogue with each other and not resort to name-calling or personal attacks. Please respect this.

the issue as i see it is about free speech. i am not a big fan of Kate Smurthwaite, but it was outrageous to ban her from the uni. this attempt to ban everything and everyone who says anything vaguely controversial will create a campus where only one set of views is allowed. this cannot be good.
good luck!
not the only dreamer

There is no place for no platforming in a modern democratic society.

kate Smurthwaite, Dieudonne, Dolce and Gabbana, the Pope, etc should not be subject to no platform. they should simply be argued against.
a type of Autonomen black bloc was directed against a philosopher, Peter Singer, who argued that there were grounds for infanticide in the case of severely disabled children over a decade ago. Singer is not a fascist, and should never be subject to such an action. this war against free speech started long ago on the left, and the anarchist left is as censorious as the authoritarian left.
no platform
