Andrew Copson addresses Parliament’s human rights committee about free speech on campus
In the past five years, at least seven Humanist Students societies have been subjected to banning, censure, or disruption at universities around the UK, said Humanists UK Chief Executive Andrew Copson, addressing the Joint Committee on Human Rights in the UK Parliament on Wednesday afternoon. The session was convened to gather evidence on whether the right to free expression was being curtailed on university campuses, and Humanists UK gave evidence alongside representatives of the religion think tank Theos, the Union of Jewish Students, the Federation of Student Islamic Societies, and two students with an interest in this area.

Two arrests after teenager 'strangled and forced to apologise for being gay' on Tube
Two teenage boys have been arrested after a teenager was allegedly strangled and forced to apologise for being gay on a Tube train.
The 19-year-old's attackers threatened to stab him and placed him in a headlock as he travelled on a Jubilee line train, police said.
British Transport Police said the suspects took the victim’s phone as they strangled him and demanded that he apologise for being gay which he eventually did as he was struggling to breathe.
One of the victim's female friends, 25, was punched and pushed to the ground when she came to his defence, police said

Absolutely, in the UK this should never happen in this day and age. It's sounds like something from a Dickens novel.
I still say the basics of life, clean water, food, shelter, health care, should not be about money.
