Whatever the intervention or procedure, the patient's well-being must be the primary consideration. How did the NHS move so far from this principle? We must return to proper, informed consent.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

They tell us to turn off taps, switch off hosepipes, drink from bottles with tethered caps, turn the lights off and tell us to eat less red meat…but at the same time, allow huge AI data centres that deplete our natural resources. We are being conned by our own governments.

How to fix Doctor Who.
Wipe out everything post Peter Capaldi. Most importantly the horrific Timeless Children.
The Dream Lord and The Valeyard are behind the non-events of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and stupid Fugitive Doctor.

Better yet, just never mention them.

Cast Hugh Laurie as the Doctor with a smoking hot actual female companion.

You're welcome.

[Young Bob @YoungBobRB]

Doctor Who is officially cancelled.

Or rather, the BBC is waiting for a production company to pick up the bill for Russell T Davies’ LGBTQI+ vanity project, his version of a historic institution reimagined into multiculturalism

I’m absolutely fed up with officials at BBC sucking the life out of entertainment.

Doctor Who was an institution, now it’s just a joke.

[Shrewsbury Women @ShrewsburyWomen]

Stop this performative nonsense.

There is a good chance that a fair number of employees hold views that you don't agree with.

Would they be allowed to bring their whole self to work? I think not.

You should require that your employees are competent and act in a professional manner. That's it.

[Jay Bhattacharya @DrJBhattacharya]

My talented friend @MichaelPack_ has produced a great documentary about the lockdown dissidents & the silencing of science during the covid pandemic.

So much harm caused by the lockdowns, school closures, and mandates could have been avoided.

I'm working now to reform public health and science so nothing like that ever happens again.

Listen to how @michaelpforan *encourages* students with dissenting views to stay, listen and challenge him.

Isn’t this a model of what the academic & student relationship should be?

[Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman]

This is unacceptable.

The University of Oxford has a duty to protect free speech from militant protestors.

Today I have written to the Chancellor of Oxford University @WilliamJHague urging him to investigate this matter and put in place the measures to enable these lectures to proceed peacefully.

Free speech is in crisis on campus.

We must do all we can to protect it.

[Maeve Halligan @MaeveHalligan]

When I talk about fear culture at our universities, this is what I mean. A few young minds that have closed themselves off to anything they disagree with are ruining it for the majority of us students who know that such exposure is the most important of all.

[DDTV @Dumbed_DownTV]

@bindelj @CreeAnt @michaelpforan Appalling!!
Uni,s must uphold principle of debate+free speech!
Uni policies should expel students who disrupt such events. Problem solved. Peaceful non disruptive protest, outwith the event could still be allowed.

We call on the Government to stop the fortification of flour with synthetic folic acid. Folic acid is a medicine not a food. We believe it is unethical to mass medicate the entire population without their knowledge or consent in the hope that a minority group of people might see a benefit.

Hi, Thomas. When you go into a classroom in which a professor is giving a lecture, disrupt the lecture, threaten those in attendance, and make it impossible for the professor to continue to lecture, you are not exercising your right to free speech. Prof. Foran had no real choice but to cancel his lecture. HTH

[Aletheia @Aletheia_70]

Quick thoughts on the disruption & cancellation of @michaelpforan's lectures:
-This was not simply a protest. Protest is legitimate. Disruption of others' right to be heard is not (cf. Karl Popper).
-While the students are likely to have violated University conduct policies, the final responsibility lies with those providing security. Reports from those who were present suggest those who disrupted the lecture were admitted despite being recognised. Again maybe OK. This isn't the local pub. But the disruption should have been dealt with much more quickly.
-Like @dfkodsi I was initial disappointed at the cancellation. Feels like giving in. Have since found out more about further threats.
-This is against a background of more or less constant threats and disruption of events with a sex realist of sex-based rights. For over a decade now.
-Extensive attempts are being made to suggest that only half a dozen people were present. Video (and reports) suggest just over 30. But so what if it was 1,000 or just one. The audience deserve to be able to listen and discuss without having that sabotaged.

@UniofOxford The demise of once great institution is unfolding where entitled brats no longer wish to expand their minds but simply want to promote Orwellian group think
Oxford professor cancels lectures after abuse from pro-trans protesters https://t.co/2xeEYFmo0w

[Michael Foran @michaelpforan]

It is unfortunate that these protesters have chosen disruption over genuine intellectual engagement grounded in academic charity and rigour. In attempting to shame students into deplatforming these lectures, they manifest the antithesis of what a university stands for.

[Michael Foran @michaelpforan]

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.

[Hazel Archer @HazelArcher11]

@Jebadoo2 @HazelTarragon If my sons were still young, I would NEVER trust adults making statements like this with their care. The sexualisation of children has permeated society under the false flag of “inclusion”. Enough!

[Dr Clare Craig @ClareCraigPath]

There are three ways to answer that:

1. The best case scenario is that 200 babies benefit. That is our of ~600k babies born a year. That means 69.4M of us have no chance of benefit. Therefore the risk:benefit ratio by defintion will be unfavourable for us.

2. There were nine dead babies for every neurtal tube defect "prevented" in the trial the benefit is based on.

3. The NHS warns people to avoid it for health reasons.

Former CIA officers have already flagged that these will be used for detailed mass data collection and surveillance of the general public.

The biggest perceived threat that Western Governments fear the most comes from their own populations.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

AI data centres are expected to consume 9.3 trillion litres of water annually by 2030 - the equivalent amount to the water supply requirements of 1.3 billion people in Sub-Saharan Africa. Plundering the natural resources requirements of people for the greed of the tech giants.
