Has Williamson really got a degree from the 'University of The Air'?

Shock horror. Another govt minister called out for lying. At this rate, it will be easier to highlight the occasions they tell the truth that when they lie.....

The *control* of freespeech disguised as *protection* through censorship to save our fragile mentalhealth?

Using misleading research? How dare he, that’s your job.

Our Unis must be Freed fr the misguided lefties control as its Undemocratic. Persistent offenders should be expelled to ensure Free speech.

Why should he have to justify free speech though? It should be a given right.

All Universities should be made to listen to jordanbpeterson. Only one talking sense, in a world full of woke

Of course the Guardian and the left wings rats do not like free speech. It would involve other opinions being heard

Not going to happen More evidence that GavinWilliamson does not have a clue. Teachers and students have worked longer hours than they normally would to make online education successful. They now need sport, other social activities (when it is safe to do so). Not longer hours. COVID19 I'm guessing Mr Williamson doesn't have children? A persons attention span is limited — especially children. Longer working days, or less time off (reducing holidays), will be counter productive as children will just zone out, which will be a waste of effect for all.
