:Disagree on the 'Big Secret' file. It's not the best written but is a fairly accurate description of a similar Syndrome in US Universities - stray outside unwritten but well understood boundaries (like criticising Zionist Israel or questioning the official 911 narrative for example) and pace Norman Finkelstein and Stephen Jones, you are likely to find your academic career at an end.

You're wasting your time and degrading the quality of the rest of the site with that "Great Secret" business. The objector is a customer, a consumer. He could have been badly treated by British Universities but there is no solution. Ultimately, they're entitled not to sell to someone they don't like, especially in the context of protecting other young people. The only protection he might have is if there were racism involved, and there wasn't. Do something useful as here. Toolbox 18:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
