The policy of ‘No Platforming’ originates from the National Union of Students (NUS) conference of April 1974, in which a resolution was passed that would debar ‘openly racist or fascist organisations or societies’ from speaking on campus. Such measures were understandable at a time when racist groups had a degree of popular support, although as Brendan O’Neill points out, even at the time of its inauguration there were concerns that the policy was likely to expand and had the ‘potential to generate other targets for censorship’.
well what if the trend has come back again? that was 1974 and thirty odd years later the light of reason didn't do its job apparently. what else do you expect people to do? i appreciate about the fact that you took a more reasonable angle to this issue but a lot of anger will be generated if it is still not good enough or it is not solving the issue (like at all). and the more it accumulate the more powerful the explosion is when shit hits the fan.
