Cambridge academic tweets “White Lives Don’t Matter” and “Abolish Whiteness”:
Cambridge University defends the academic’s ability to express themselves, stating “The University defends the right of its academics to express their own lawful opinions which others might find controversial and deplores in the strongest terms abuse and personal attacks. These attacks are totally unacceptable and must cease.”
Not only that, but the next day Gopal was promoted to full professorship:

The same University last year cancelled a visiting fellowship that had been offered to Jordan Peterson, claiming that ““[Cambridge] is an inclusive environment and we expect all our staff and visitors to uphold our principles. There is no place here for anyone who cannot.”
By extension, can we now conclude that Cambridge University’s “principles” include racism and hatred of white people?
Feeling threatened Hugo?

Regarding freedom of speech it clearly isn’t any more - the person involved in the (ill-judged, but legal) Burnley banner stating “white lives matter” lost their job. However, the Cambridge professor who tweeted the comment (potentially prosecutable under the ‘incitement to racial hatred’ law) stating that “white lives don’t matter” got promoted.
If that isn’t already 1984-levels of doublethink then I don’t know what is.
