This is what happens when you oppose diversity. Boooooooooring. I drew this cartoon 19 years ago.

Today The Guardian shakes up the idea of universities as ivory towers. In fact, they add to the liveliness and prosperity of their towns and cities 📰 theguardian.com/commentisfree/… It draws on work by Centre for Cities to understand universities' role as exporters and employers 👇

It’s not about freedom of speech in the traditional sense. It’s about a new paradigm where anyone can express opinions to the world, backed up by content and “facts” that are deliberately wrong. Result: Whole rafts of people believe things that are demonstrably false.
