Great debate tonight @GoldsmithsSU on free speech. The motion passed saying restrictions had gone too far with a clear majority.

The left should always stand up for free speech.

“Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently” Rosa Luxemburg

[Liberate The Debate @Liberate_Debate]

Big thanks to everyone that took part, it was a lively and constructive debate on all sides. A special thankyou to Jeremy the chair for keeping the peace and managing the debate.

[Liberate The Debate @Liberate_Debate]

Votes have been counted on the motion ‘have restrictions on free speech gone too far?’ Votes swayed by 22 from the initial vote, in favour of the fact that restrictions have gone too far.

[Liberate The Debate @Liberate_Debate]

An incredibly powerful speech from Andreas Panayidas finishing with “If an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, a tongue for a tongue leaves the whole world silent.” #LiberateTheDebate #FreeSpeech

[Liberate The Debate @Liberate_Debate]

Students Union President JT responds, focusing on the importance of protecting students and the misrepresentation of free speech at universities in the press.

[Liberate The Debate @Liberate_Debate]

@PeterTatchell starts us off, arguing in favour of free speech. “A free society depends on the free exchange of ideas”

[Liberate The Debate @Liberate_Debate]
