I agree, that's a good post making some good points and puts it in context, especially in respect of it being nothing new, and that twitter and the media do amplify things.

I don't think we should pretend there is nothing happening - comedians are telling us that it exists and we do see some examples of universities etc seeking to cancel speakers, which I think should be pushed back against.

But, as I happily said when I made my first point, I do think its overblown and fundementally is nothing new.

I'm now off to get pissed, so I am cancelling you all and wish you all a very happy christmas eve eve
