Charlie Kirk's spirit burns bright in those of us fighting for free speech
The activist, who was assassinated a year ago, inspired thousands of young people like me to stand up for our beliefs. Connie Shaw writes for The Telegraph. "When people stop talking, that's when you get violence." It was as if Charlie Kirk had uttered a prophecy. For a year ago today he was murdered by someone who wished to silence him. Many will never forget where they were when they heard he had been shot in front of hundreds of students on the campus of Utah Valley University.
Charlie Kirk’s spirit burns bright in those of us fighting for free speech
“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence.” It was as if Charlie Kirk had uttered a prophecy. For a year ago today he was murdered by someone who wished to silence him. Many will never forget where they were when they heard he had been shot in front of hundreds of students on the campus of Utah Valley University. His killing was a major wake-up call for all those fighting in the “culture wars”: people like me.

Matthew Wright asked me on his radio show for ‘balance’. Then called me racist
Matthew Wright is best-known for his Channel 5 debate programme, which ran for nearly 20 years until 2018 Some Leftists have a habit of trying to silence those they disagree with when their views are under scrutiny. That’s what the broadcaster Matthew Wright did to me. I was invited onto his LBC show last weekend to discuss the view of shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy that the mass ritual “Open Iftar” prayer event by Muslims in Trafalgar Square was an “act of domination”.
How I stood up to the pro-trans bullies who tried to silence me
The protest outside University College London over Connie Shaw’s talk on free speech and women’s rights - @MrMennoTweets Who would’ve thought that I’d need bodyguards (not one, but two) to speak at a British university? But that’s what I had on Tuesday night when I gave a talk at University College London. What, you might ask, was I set to say that would necessitate the need for close protection officers?
Is fear of the CCP stopping Chinese students integrating at British universities?
British universities have become reliant on Chinese money - Peter Muller/Connect Images Prestigious universities, including the London heavyweights UCL, Imperial and the LSE, now take over half their students from abroad. The biggest numbers come from India and China. But, while students from the world’s largest democracy seem to play a full part in student life, Chinese students appear reluctant to integrate.

According to multiple media reports this week, a teacher was sacked from working at a London primary school in early 2024 after making allegedly hurtful comments about Islam. The teacher, who does not wish to be named, was not only sacked but also blacklisted from working with children, after the local authority claimed that he posed a substantive risk to children, causing them ’emotional harm’.
I’ve seen first hand the impact of anti-Semitism on campuses
Conversations with Jewish students reveal a pervasive culture of normalised hostility - Asadour Guzelian Last month on October 6, Leeds University Union made an Instagram post inviting students to “Celebrate Palestinian Culture” on the 14th. I could not believe what I was looking at on my screen, as I wondered which parts of Palestinian culture they would be celebrating, or rather would not be celebrating, considering the chosen date of advertisement and of the event.
Cambridge students launch single-sex Society for Women
“We’re now at a point where I no longer can see inaction as just inaction. I now see a lot of it as just cowardice, and I’m not interested in it anymore.” – Maeve Halligan, CUSW President and Co-Founder.
Gender-critical academics must put their heads above the parapet Original

Earlier this week, the Daily Mail reported that University College London (UCL) is continuing to allow men into women’s toilets and changing rooms.
My gender-critical views got me barred from university radio - but I’ll keep fighting for free speech
My suspension from the student radio station did not exactly come as a shock. Someone had made a complaint about my “conduct”, I was told. An investigation had been launched. Why? Because outside of my work on the station, I had expressed gender-critical beliefs. My conduct online had apparently brought Leeds Student Radio (LSR) into disrepute.
Canceled for Telling the Truth About Sex
I am in my final year as an undergraduate student in philosophy at the University of Leeds. I am a gender-critical feminist—that is, I believe that women are adult human females, and that this is the basis of their oppression. I do not believe in the concept of “gender” at all. In the words of Germain Greer, femininity is the “fake version of femaleness.” Accordingly, I view transgenderism as one of the biggest threats to women’s sex-based rights in the Western world.

The report on murdered and missing Indigenous women and children fails to hold anyone to account. It’s not enough.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised this article contains mentions of someone who has died. After two years and 16 hearings, the Senate Inquiry into Missing and Murdered First Nations women handed down its report yesterday. While important, it was not the moment of reckoning many of us had hoped for. The Senate inquiry was introduced and spearheaded by Dorinda Cox, the West Australian Greens Senator, who today called the report’s recommendations “weak” and “toothless”.
The ‘No’ Voice result showed us we need to prioritise truth-telling in Australia
The Indigenous Voice to Parliament could have been a chance to address issues First Nations people often face, such as domestic and family violence, racism and discrimination, and inequalities in education, health, and the flaws in the justice system. A lot of us saw the Voice as a potential forum where future generations could step up as advocates and drive meaningful change on many issues that impact First Nations communities in the Northern Territory.
OPINION: Racism is the root cause of the current issues around Alice Springs
The reporting about Mparntwe/Alice Springs has been harmful, devoid of context, and lacking basic fact-checking. But the hateful news stories and political footballing of Alice Springs issues began long before the Prime Minister’s four-hour-long visit. During his brief visit, Albanese was surrounded by politicians – only one of whom comes from Alice Springs. Did the Prime Minister truly take the time to listen to our community?
