1:12 am
a children's charity we wanted to make sure it was an appropriate event for the cause we would never wish to impose that guest with have to agree to anything that they do not believe in we apologise for the misunderstanding. though the u.k.'s national union of students says it has no evidence that universities are monitoring what guest speakers may say there have been other cases twenty fourteen the comic. was banned from performing at cardiff university after hundreds signed a petition complaining that it showed trivialized rape and unprotected sex the following year activist and comedian performance was cancelled at a london university because of our views on decriminalizing prostitution kate smyth when it came to debate the issue with media commentator lionel. it's absolutely trivial for me to sign this document and to be honest if you have to stop and go what you know what they're asking me not to be sexist how could they then maybe it's about time that you sort of thought about the fact that it's twenty eighteen
1:13 am
and checked out what your material is i find it weird that we're presenting this as though somebody is paying sense of the fact is that by agreeing to come on your show i've agreed not to swear on air and if i didn't want to do that i could have not come on your show and you know your other guests are bound by the same thing if every time you see a cup of coffee you shout i hate coffee it's disgusting or you won't be working in a coffee shop next week now let me explain what the problem is imagine if i game on r t and my colleague here in de mint comes out and you say do not talk about this subject do not mention the word putin kremlin united states trump we would say whoa whoa wait a minute hold it we wouldn't say well those are the rules it's like yelling fire in a crowded theater or coffee in a coffee shop we would say wait a minute you're let me what i'm saying you can make your own decision about what is and isn't ok and they're absolutely things i'm sure that you wouldn't allow me to
1:14 am
say on air i know there are you know in line all the same and so by coming on air of course we've agreed not to say those things are not you know it's not down to every comedian to decide what kind of stuff they want to do and if that means that they don't want to play you know there are shows that i know where the comedians perform to children and of course when you perform a show for children there are kinds of subjects that you don't go near because it's a children's show and personally i don't do those shows because i don't write the kind of material that suits those events and so i don't put myself forward we're not talking to them not a question you can't define races you can't units of what he did say use a dictionary we know we can't know now you know not many you do and he didn't have a lie about you and the rest of absolutely all maybe you really. please stop it you know we're talking about your you're being sold a dandy good priggish above the rules and looking it up in the dictionary that's not the issue the bigger issue is that instead of us saying wait
1:15 am
a minute what rules wait a minute why kid they speak no we're saying excuse me why aren't you abiding by the rules look at how we're giving in our first of all don't break the rules instead of saying wait a minute he's a comic is this over eighteen what kind of a club is this i'm sorry but life's tough but i do think the answer is that everybody is entitled turf and you know here's my radical opinion i think we're entitled to free speech i think they're entitled to say this is what we think the rules should be and i think everybody else who's involved in that should be entitled to agree to disagree to say well actually i would like a change to this is something you haven't mentioned that i find to be quite problematic i think that you know we know that there are always going to be limits in society about what is and isn't ok to be said in certain forums and certain platforms and that's absolutely fine what's the matter with us we're used to be tough we're becoming a bunch of little snowflake trigger of trigger warning then heard and be it
