  Was looking more for a link to an article. If they actually said that about the tribunal, that would be unhinged even by BBC’s standards.

    Oh, it’s not supposed to be a real quote.

    Yeah, the BBC wouldn’t be so brave as to say that. They would quote a Jewish Lawyer’s Organisation about how “concerning” it is.

      Miller, who worked at the university as a lecturer of political sociology, attracted criticism for a “false, vile… antisemitic slur” in a lecture in 2019.

      He made further comments against Zionism at a Campaign for Free Speech event in 2021 and was also criticised by the Bristol Jewish Society.

      He later called some Jewish student groups “political lobby groups” and described Jewish students at British universities as “political pawns by a violent, racist foreign regime engaged in ethnic cleansing”.
