This is easily the best thing I have seen written on this topic - considerably more clearly, and closely, argued than anyone else has managed :
The Ruffian has LANDED. This week: what's the Sally Rooney case *really* about? Free to read! ianleslie.substack.com/p/wha…
Just when I thought my list of “people who are reliably wrong about everything” was getting out of date, it’s very helpful for the New Statesman to provide an update. Some obvious suspects now confirmed amongst the usual ones but Coetzee is the only real disappointment…
OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

That Mitchell and Webb Look Offensive Banned Sketches Full Episode

This is one of the sketches that has been removed apparently. I'm just going to say it. If you can't see the anti-racist intent of this sketch, then you are too thick to be deciding what comedy gets seen or commissioned.

Today in 'Orwell was right'.
BBC removes 11 Mitchell and Webb comedy sketches from iPlayer.
