Welcome to UPSU

Allow Peter Hitchens to speak at the University, for open debate and acceptance of others opinions

A have your say campaign has been launched to stop Peter Hitchens from speaking at Portsmouth, this is based on some of his more controversial opinions, this goes against the principals of open debate

Petition submitted by Ronnie Taffurelli-Hutchings on Feb 6, 2019

This petition is in the Passed State

This petition has been passed and will be actioned ASAP.

How Will This Idea Benefit Students?

Because of some students that aren't happy with Peter Hitchens and his past stances on certain issues they are trying to block him from speaking at the university, this goes against the entire principal of a university and would also be an affront to freedom of speech. Everyone should be allowed to openly discuss issues without fear of being pushed out to the sidelines and stopped.
