An astounding series of tweets has led to the suspension of the Goldsmith's LGBTQ+ Society. Whoever had their handle on the groups Twitter account referenced the pro- Enver Hoxha website:
The Espresso Stalinist which amongst other things told readers Gulags were just "re-education camps" and were only used as a last resort. The "work until you die" reputation is a myth.
Words fail me but this site is just a stalinist version of "holocaust denial" or the kind of "revisionist history" one would expect from the far-left....
Goldsmiths Students Union has issued the following statement:
Yesterday, Monday 10th September, a member of the LGBTQ+ Society with access to their Twitter account posted tweets containing offensive material. We condemn the abhorrent content of the tweets and they are in complete opposition to the views and values of the Students’ Union.
The Society have broken multiple Union policies and procedures, including failing to adhere to our code of conduct, and we have issued multiple requests for the group to delete the tweets. As such, the Society have been suspended and disaffiliated from the Students’ Union, pending investigation.
Societies are autonomous groups that operate with support of the Students’ Union, governed by our policies and procedures, but their views and behaviour is led by independent groups of students.
Following this, we will ensure that there is other support in place for LGBTQ+ students, including those starting at Goldsmiths later this month, by building networks and facilitating events led by our LGBTQ+ staff and students.
