This looks like a detailed, well thought out, fully costed and impact assessed policy.

When sledging goes wrong... 🤣

This can't be real, can it??

Excellent thread not just on the chicanery of Maugham (and by extension, some other SIGs) but also on the conclusions that can (and cannot) be drawn from studies rigourously applying the scientific method. And some free logical fallacies thrown in from the QC for free...

Absolutely love how embarrassed Mary BOOM BOOM Bourke is at that final "blue in the face" joke....

Well if this doesn't trigger the right people, nothing will.

Not heard Inaya Folarin Iman before but this was a really impressive discussion which gives me genuine hope that there is a way back from the brink we seem to have found ourselves on. Give Free Speech Champions a follow and some support - their work is important and so needed right now!
