I'm just out of a politics lecture and at the start of it the head of the university literary and debating society came in to tell us that internationally renowned scumbag fascist dick and holocaust-denier David Irving has "expressed an interest in speaking at NUIG".
There's a debate next Thursday at 7 o' clock to discuss whether or not he should be allowed to. It will be followed by a secret ballot by all there to decide the matter.
I for one will be in the middle of it suggesting that the only reason he should be allowed anywhere near the place is if we're plannin to kick his head in. If any one else can suggest advice on the matter/make it along to the debate to argue the point/etc etc, I'd be much obliged. I very much suspect I'll be one of the few who'll be of the "no platform" opinion. As you might guess, the place is full of pseudo-liberal free speech types and I'm worried it'll be me against everyone (hopefully some of the angrier SWP types'll back my side, but I'm not counting on it...)
I'm thinking of plastering the campus and city in posters explaining who/what he is as soon as possible in order to get the word out, as most students probably won't have heard about it.
NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO THOSE WHO WOULD DENY YOU YOURS!!
