571. My Year of Hell at University - Connie Shaw

What this episode covers

🔥 Leeds University is at the center of a shocking free speech scandal. Connie Shaw, a former Leeds Student Radio presenter, was accused of "bringing the station into disrepute" simply for interviewing Graham Linehan on her podcast. What followed was a Kafkaesque nightmare of censorship, re-education demands, and social ostracism that feels more like Stalinist Russia than a modern British university.

Connie reveals the most shocking question she was asked during her disciplinary, why she was banned from campus, and how gender ideology has completely captured UK universities. From “gender expression funds” for binders and tuckers, to professors who police language and beliefs, this story exposes the authoritarian side of higher education that the mainstream media won’t touch. We also cover the chilling consequences of speaking out — from friends being told not to be seen with her, to the University citing her podcast as evidence against her. Toby Young, the Free Speech Union, and even Connie’s own lawyer have compared her case to life under totalitarian regimes. This is more than one student’s story. It’s about whether free speech has any place left in British universities, and what happens when someone refuses to conform to the new orthodoxy. 👉 Watch to the end for Connie’s future plans, her surprising inspirations, and her message to anyone worried about censorship, cancel culture, and academic freedom. #FreeSpeech #CancelCulture #LeedsUniversity Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 0:00 Connie Shaw Highlights 1:24 Connie’s Graham Linehan Interview 4:24 Gender Madness on Campus 6:24 Kafkaesque Madness 8:24 The Most Shocking Question 11:24 Connie’s Trans Professor of FEMINISM! 15:54 He Brought Up Kathleen Stock 19:24 Found GUILTY - This Was Suspicious 23:24 The Five Allegations Against Connie 25:24 The Graham Linehan Podcast 28:54 Does This Make Connie A Horrible Person? 30:24 Will Connie Take Legal Action? 33:24 Toby Young Wrote This Letter 37:24 Lawyer Admitted This Was Stalinist Russia 40:14 Friends Deserted Connie 42:24 The Free Speech Union Shouldn’t Exist 45:24 Leeds University On The Back Foot! 48:24 Free Speech & Why Connie is Gratefu 51:24 Connie’s Future Career & Emily Maitlis 53:09 The UK’s Shocking Free Speech Ranking 54:24 The History of Semites & Islamophobia 56:54 The Grooming Gangs…is Islamophobic? 59:09 A Heretic Connie Shaw Admires 1:01:09 Christopher Hitchens Said Women Aren’t Funny Learn more about your ad choices.

Chesterton "Heretics," a series of essays by Gilbert Keith Chesterton. First published in 1905. Read by David "Grizzly" Smith.Chesterton had a sense of humor, had a sense of drama, and had sense. He was a man of strong opinions, and quite willing to argue vehemently for his own opinions, even with his friends -- and they remained his friends -- like George Bernard Shaw and Rudyard Kipling. Seems to me that's hard to find anymore.He wrote prolifically. He wrote humor. He wrote mystery novels, the Father Brown mysteries in particular. But he also wrote his opinions, his religious opinions and his opinions about religion. "Heretics" is a book about religion and politics, theory and fact, morals and efficiency.What I most admire about "Heretics," written a bit over a century ago, is that his arguments are exceptional, and that so many of them are still quite recognizably true. He argues that the weakening and devaluing of religion has also weakened and devalued heresy. He argues that Early Church Collection Volume 3 by Various Loyal Books This collection begins with Augustine's exposition of the Apostles' Creed, a confession of faith attributed to Gregory Thaumaturgus and a series of statements on christology.
