What a splendid seminar, if I say so myself, which was fitting to its location in the beautiful House of Lords.
🚨 Great to be at today's seminar sponsored by @LordNortonLouth on 'Intellectual Conservatism' co-edited by @DanJTPitt and @HorcherF.

We must repudiate the idea that "speech can be violence" once and for all. @glukianoff and I wrote about the dangers of promoting this idea on college campuses back in 2017, in @TheAtlantic: https://t.co/BkFKx2d1Y6
