571. My Year of Hell at University - Connie Shaw


Listen Later

šŸ”„ 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 ā€œgender expression fundsā€ 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.


    šŸ‘‰ 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.
