How is this a shock to anyone who's been paying even the most minimal attention to what Trump has been saying and his admin have been doing all year? I posted this in February, for example. Officials who simply chose not to believe it because it's all too difficult might want to rethink their career

Appalling that Cambridge and rest of Russel Group are giving Farage/Reform - grifters, racists and Kremlin assets - the time of day (and by extension, legitimacy). Quite sure others with connection to these universities feel the same. Along with not obeying in advance, don’t tolerate the intolerant!
Karl Popper’s sage advice for democracies - don’t tolerate the intolerant!
“If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”
