“… cancel culture is not about criticism. In a democracy, free speech includes criticism, harsh criticism, debate, discussion – all of those things are welcome. But cancel culture is something very specific: it is a public vilification campaign, it is a dehumanising process which seeks to completely destroy somebody’s livelihood, to exclude them from public life and to completely disregard often decades of contribution that they’ve made.”

Debate with Inaya Folarin Iman, Konstantin Kisin, Kenny Ethan Jones and Chanté Joseph, Sunday Morning Live, 12th July 2020.
