I’m offended by PC universiti­es

-

Russian-born comic Konstantin Kisin was forced to cancel his charity UNICEF fundraisin­g gig at the University of London when he refused to sign a zero-tolerance “behavioura­l contract”.

It stopped him telling any jokes, that were not “respectful and kind” and which banned 12 forms of -isms and phobias the university deemed “offensive”.

Outraged, Kisin declined to take part on a point of principle, saying

Konstantin “this is a threat to

Kisin freedom of speech” and “the only people who should be controllin­g what comedians say are comedians”.

He also called it an act of repression that Stalin’s brutal Soviet Union would have been proud of.

I agree! What has happened to our universiti­es and students?

Once hotbeds of revolution, anarchy and revolt, they have become PC nursery schools for the far-too-easily offended.
