Comedian's free speech show at Goldsmiths targeted by protesters Quote
Kate Smurthwaite, a London comedian and left-wing activist, performed her ‘sold-out’ show about free speech at Goldsmiths Student Union in New Cross to an audience of just six people. The account, which states it is not affiliated with Goldsmiths Student Union, goes on to call Ms Smurthwaite’s views “transphobic, wh0rephobic, islamophobic, and bigoted. A planned gig at the college last year was cancelled after protests from the feminist society over Smurthwaite’s opposition to full legalisation of the sex industry and despite all the free tickets to last Wednesday’s gig booked online, only six people turned up. That's a new one I have to say. Maybe I'll tell the mrs I need to do my bit to support the cause. I'd say it's quite easy to ignore the views of such lunatics but it would seem there was a group operating the boycott. There have been similar cases of 'no-platforming' but Goldsmiths seem to hate everyone. I love it when the left go full-circle. Edited by johnfirewall (31 Mar 2016 3.48pm)
