Making the dictionary of the Nazis' euphemisms that they used to make mass murder sound like a minor matter.

UK_Censorship

The UK government censorship/surveillance program which is supposed to prevent terrorism represses students and studies in UK universities. You don't need to come anywhere near wishing to commit violence before the program threatens you or blocks an event.

The UK government, while imposing its law-backed censorship, is hardly in a position to sincerely defend freedom of speech on campus.
