Nice!
Uh oh – what’s this?
Yes it is. I would very much like to talk to you about it. I will email you now.
— Jeremy Goldstein (@truth2powercafe) October 24, 2018
I will email you now to explain how it’s about free speech BUT
There are specific reasons around this which I was unable to disclose to you for reasons which I’m writing to you now.

And it goes on that way, with Julie being blunt about being dumped from the lineup and Jeremy Goldstein frantically trying to justify himself without admitting anything.
I am not trying to fudge anything. There a lot to this which I want you to know about and I’m trying to sort it out as best and as quickly as I can.
— Jeremy Goldstein (@truth2powercafe) October 24, 2018
This is not entirely true. There are factors I was afraid to raise with you. Ironic I know in a show which encourages people to rise up in the name of free speech and political activism but I acted from a position of fear and I now regret it.

Ah that fear – how familiar it is. Let me guess – “Drop Bindel from the lineup this instant or we will call you a transphobe all over London and social media and the universe.”
As we now know, you were bullied by two trans-activists, and agreed to drop me from the programme. You then lied to me. Only admitted it when I would not let it drop. What is it that made you so shit-scared of those people?

The volume and duration of their screaming?
This is madness.
“This is madness” is the exact phrase I mutter several times a day. For a moment there, I thought I had posted it without even remembering.
What’s the bet Goldstein blames Bindel for his current state of stress and embarrassment, rather than either himself or those who bullied him?
Doughty fighter, Bindel. Good for her for making a public noise about their bullshit.
Have you seen this piece by her in Unherd about the Wokest Woke in Wokingham? (as she calls Ash Sarkar).
