Interesting #Reith lecture on fears and nightmare visions - focusing on USSR/Russia and current international politics around war in Ukraine - by Dr Fiona Hill https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001g956?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile #FionaHill #ReithLecture Remember the Cold War nuclear nightmare atmosphere of 1980s she mentions, but no one I knew took government’s lame-sounding civil defence seriously.

Really enjoyed this morning’s Reith lecture on Freedom from Fear by the learned Fiona Hill. #reithlecture

Finding myself nodding along to and cheering #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie's #ReithLecture on social censure and #FreedomofSpeech. So interesting re cancel culture, silence, creativity and the English curriculum.

This is probably the most effective #ReithLecture I've heard in a long time whilst at the same time I have a slight weariness that it will be another temporary hole in the ocean.

Freedom of religion is a perfectly fine thing, but it also requires freedom FROM religion for those who don't partake in said beliefs

#ChimamandaNgoziAdichie delivers first #BBC #ReithLecture 2022 on the subject of #FreedomOfSpeech with her trademark fierceness. Her suggestion of a #CoalitionOfTheReasonable on social media sounds like a #Mastodon network.

Excellent #ReithLecture on #FreedomOfSpeech by #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie. Great that people like #Chimamanda are retrieving this issue from 'free-speech warriors' on the Right but also a lesson for those on the Left tempted into #tribal self-censorship.

Excellent #ReithLecture on BBC today by Chimamanda Ngozi. My generation fought for freedom of speech when we were young. But we relaxed our vigilance and now find that we have to fight all over again. This is so worth listening to, and if you can't get the BBC, she also gave a TED talk. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001fmtz?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

Recommended: Chimamanda Ngozi Adiechie #ReithLecture - what are we losing through the tyranny of social censure? She argues it portends the death of curiosity, of learning, and creativity https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001fmtz?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile The Q&A afterwards is also good
