Now members of Parliament are also being kicked out of English universities

This week in the headlines of the British newspapers, in addition to Agatha Christie whose thrillers have been rewritten, there is Baroness Claire Fox, who was kicked out of Royal Holloway University in London. Student union bureaucrats had claimed that his retweets of a clip from Ricky Gervais’ Netflix show showed that she was “openly transphobic.” In a monologue that pierces the absurdities of woke culture, Gervais jokes about women. “Not all women, I mean old-fashioned ones. The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs. Those fucking dinosaurs. I love new women. They are fantastic, aren’t they? The new ones we’ve seen lately. Those with beards and cocks. And now the old-fashioned ones are like, ‘Oh, they want to use our bathrooms.’ ‘Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?’, ‘For women!’. ‘They’re women – look at their pronouns!’. ‘How about this one, isn’t she a lady?’ ‘Well, her penis’. ‘Fucking bigot!’ ‘What if she raped me?’. ‘Fucking fucking Terf’”. Terf stands for gender critical feminist. As is Baroness Fox, who founded the think tank Academy of Ideas, which is committed to free speech and “challenging irrational social panic”. One of the student union leaders emailed the university: “I wonder if you have thought about the consequences of bringing in a person who is an advocate of hate against trans people and publicly ridicule them.” This “culture of fear” poses a threat to fundamental freedoms, writes Fox in the Telegraph.
