t waves of antisemitic rhetoric, anger and exclusions. When I spoke out against some of that, I was excluded permanently from the union online discussion. Much of that story is told here: Fraser v UCU: tribunal finds no antisemitism at all | Engage
When I was denounced by the President of our Student Union as a 'far right white supremacist', and after she referred my work as a 'Zionist Goldsmiths academic’s explicit racist history', my UCU branch turned up on Twitter to offer 100% solidarity to her, but zero solidarity was offered to me. They were content that a union member and an expert in antisemitism was being denounced as a Nazi and they were siding with the person who had done that….
The UCU was last heard of by those of us outside academia when, instead of backing Kathleen Stock as she was hounded out of Sussex University by braying gender activists, gave their full support to the trans mob.
