The Spin
Left narrative
Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, which is what this new "speech czar" will try to impose. The national student unions already promote and protect free speech, but the UK's right-wing government wants to go further and strip professors of their autonomy in the classroom. This is reactionary and regressive.
Right narrative
The "woke mob" has overtaken the UK and it's time for the government to end this era of anti-free speech tyranny. Students shouldn't be suspended or demoted simply for their opinions, and these professors, backed by aggressive student mobs, won't change their ways until the prudent government oversight forces them into promoting the foundation of higher education. This is about the free and unfettered exchange of ideas.
