He was banned from Manchester uni for making transphobic comments and denying rape culture

A Bristol SU officer plans to campaign against the Journalism Society’s invite for controversial journalist Milo Yiannopoulos to speak on campus.

Hannah Dualeh, the Widening Participation Students Officer at Bristol SU expressed concern on the FemSoc Facebook page that the Journalism Society was giving Milo a platform.

Milo, 31, has been accused by critics of denying rape culture on campus and making transphobic comments.

She wrote: “I was wondering if you would support me in campaigning against the invitation made by University of Bristol Journalism Society’s to allow speaker Milo Yiannopoulos to attend their event.

“He has been banned from attending other universities such as the University of Manchester for making transphobic comments, and denying rape culture.”
