"He was introduced by writer and free speech advocate Douglas Murray, who opined on what Shakespeare can teach us about cancel culture as part of a lecture given in memory of philosopher Sir Roger Scruton."
Ah Douglas Murray must be some great guy.
Wikipedia:
Murray has also written columns for publications such as The Wall Street Journal. He is known for his criticism of immigration and Islam.

The consequences of getting cancelled are so bad, you might end up being a keynote speaker at Oxford.
Douglas Murray is a legit fascist. A 'national conservative' who pushes great replacement theory, has direct connections to most of the European far right, has said that "all immigration from Muslim countries must end", and made a defence of European right wing 'nationalism' saying it's not invalidated by Germany just "mucking up" in the early 20th century - that little oopsie being the Nazis and the Holocaust.
Pretending to be anti-Nazi isn’t going to win him any standing ovations in Canadian parliament anytime soon
I say Stalin made some mistakes but overall was a great leader and I'm an evil tankie, but this motherfucker can say the Nazis just did a lil oopsie whoopsie and gets a by line in the WSJ
That's actually Charles Murray.
Here's some cheery titles from Douglas here. See if you can pick up on his vibe:
Neoconservatism: Why We Need It (2005)
Bloody Sunday: Truths, Lies, & thr Saville Inquiry (2011) [note that's an anti-Irish book, nothing to do with Jimmy Saville]
Islamophilia: a Very Metropolitan Malady (2013)
The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam (2017)
The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity (2019)
The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason (2021)
I haven't followed this asshole's story, but whenever they start talking about cancel culture after a SA acquittal, you know they're getting away with some heinous and obvious shit
That's the only way to deal with them. Got hired by Oxford/Harvard/Cambridge? I just won't acknowledge your existence.
