Three weeks ago @TSB blocked my debit card for buying an AI bird feeder from a company they said didn’t exist. They still haven’t sent me a replacement card, but here is the first bird from the fictitious feeder - a robin

The world's biggest clean air zone.
Expanding the ULEZ wasn’t an easy decision, but evidence continues to show it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners 💚

This unqualified bore says his secondhand opinions are “not up for debate.” Yes they are. At a university all opinions are up for debate. If you cannot defend your opinions rationally, either they are indefensible or you are too stupid to defend them. In either case you have no right to force them on students who have expressed their wish to attend a lecture by doing so.

Agree. The pearl-clutching Soho gatekeepers should move to the home counties.
Soho’s nightlife has always been legendary. It needs to be saved, not suppressed.

Intolerant, myopic and sinister. This kind of thinking is the antithesis of science.
Lectures promoting gender critical views are simply not acceptable and the students have spoken with their feet. Now the University leadership should review the position of this associate professor to see if his lectures fit the syllabus.

This is a matter for the Vice chancellor of @UniofOxford Prof Irene Tracey, but also for the Chancellor @WilliamJHague. You were elected on an academic freedom platform: let's see some action, Lord Hague.

Due to escalating disruptive protests, I have decided to cancel the remainder of these lectures. This is deeply lamentable, but the disruption has undermined the academic nature of this series. Students shouldn't face bullying or harassment when attending academic events.

Questions must be asked of the Oxford University Proctors.
Why did they allow protests inside a lecture theatre?
Why do they think it is acceptable to create a hostile and degrading environment for Michael Foran and his students?
What do they think education is for?
