Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at “Downing” (Darwin College) Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that you’re not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the The Spectator libido section.

German democracy combusting before our eyes. Full scale repression of legitimate assembly & political expression. Raiding meetings & extraterritorially banning online speeches! Another example of Europe willing to throw rights, law, everything, on the bonfire to defend genocide.

Germany did what they always wanted to do, at least since the OXI referendum. They banned Yanis Varoufakis from any - including virtual (!) - political activity in Germany. His crime? Palestine.

Germany did not just stop the Rector of the University of Glasgow Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta from entering Germany, to participate in our Palestine Congress, but threatened him with legal action if he dared send his intended speech by video. Question to German friends: In your name?

By verbal instructions of German police Yanis Varoufakis was issued with a general ban on all activities „Betätigungsverbot“ apparently on orders of Interior Ministry without naming legal basis. This cannot stand!
