Philosopher To Be Appointed UK’s First “Free Speech Tsar”

[BidenPresident]

Arif Ahmed, professor of philosophy at the University of Cambridge, has reportedly been selected as UK’s first “free speech tsar” by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

According to The Telegraph, the position comes with “the power to investigate universities and student unions in England and Wales that wrongly restrict debate” and to “advise the sector regulator on imposing fines for free speech breaches.”

The creation of the position has been described as part of Sunak’s “anti-woke” politics.

I am confused... is that a good thing or a bad thing? Seems that investigating free speech restrictions at universities would be a good thing, no?

The government has no credibility on such matters.

The political leadership has long been a disaster, has shown zero competence and zero will to protect the people.

Yes, appoint a government "czar" to make things right and free. I'd say Britain is fucked but I'd be 60 years too late if I did.

It's "good" only if jt happens and if the snowflakes are told to shut the fuck up when they hear things they dont like but I'll believe it
