Well, well, well, after ranting at #universities for supposedly 'no platforming' people whose views were deemed 'unacceptable' t transpires that across the #civilservice, the #Tories have issued guidelines to staff to ensure exactly that when it comes to events they are hosting/convening.

#hypocrisy on a grand scale!
