Seven hundred years ago, if someone had come to Oxford and stood here and said, "I think everyone should be allowed to read the Bible, even peasants", that person would have been described as offensive. He would have been denounced, shouted at, and eventually no-platformed.
That was certainly the experience of John Wycliffe. In 1382 he wasbanished[i]from Oxford for, among other things, translating the Bible into English. His work was described as an offence against theecclesiastical[ii]order.
Two hundred years ago, if someone had come to Oxford and stood here and said, "I don’t believe in God", that person would have been described as offensive. He would have been ridiculed, yelled at.
That was certainly the experience of Shelley, who in 1811 was banished from Oxford for writing a pamphletcalledThe Necessity of Atheism.
One historical account describes how Shelley’s pamphlet caused "maximum offence". It describes how fellows and students at New College "swept the pamphlets up" and disposed of them — much like today’s student leaders sweep up copies ofThe Sun, which they also describe as causing "maximum offence".
One hundred years ago, if someone had come to Oxford and stood here and said, "I think a man should be allowed to have sex with another man", that person would have been described as offensive. He would have beenbooed[iii],hissed[iv]at, no-platformed.
That was certainly the experience ofThe Chameleon, an openly gay Oxford magazine which in 1894 survived for one issue only. Why? Because it was offensive. One observer called it as "an insult to the animal creation"; there was talk of it having a "dangerous influence on the young".
In other words, it made Oxford an unsafe space, and therefore it had to be stopped — much as today’s student leaders ban openlyladdish[v]magazines in the name of preserving safe spaces for students.
So when today’s student leaders clamp down on offensive stuff, they’re actually carrying on a very long tradition. A tradition whereby thecreme de la creme[vi]of British society takes it upon themselves to police the parameters of acceptable thought, to patrol the outskirts of right and proper thinking, and tooutlaw[vii]offensiveness in the academy.
Throughout history, the church, politicians, universities, various moral movements have always branded certain ideas "offensive" and have waged war against them. Today, student leaders do the same. They carry out one of the oldest,foulest[viii]forms of intolerance — intolerance of those who give offence.
But giving offence is good – it is essential, in fact. Humans have long had the urge to offend against the natural order, the religious order, the moral order, and in the process they have pushed humanity forward.
In fact, pretty much every leap forward in history, pretty much every freedom and comfort we enjoy, is a product of individuals having given offence, having offended against the orthodoxies of their age. Offensiveness is not just something we have tobegrudgingly[ix]accept — offensiveness is the very motor of human progress.
Copernicus offended Christians with his assertion that the Sun was at the centre of the solar system. He really hurt some of them. And in the process he made the world a better, more understandable place.
John Wilkes, the 18th century radical journalist, offended everyone. He packed his newspapers not only with political commentary but also with sex and lies and tales of bishops buggering their maids. And in the process, through his struggles with the authorities, he gave birth to press freedom.
The newspaperGay Newscaused profound offence to Christians in 1976 when it published a poem about a Roman centurion giving Christ a blow job. And in the process, in its struggles with the authorities, it started a debate about theblasphemy[x]laws that would eventually contribute to their abolition — expanding freedom of speech for you and me and everyone.
The right to offend is not somepesky[xi]little part of freedom of speech that we have to put up with — it is the heart and soul and lungs of freedom of speech. It is the coursing lifeblood of human progress. It is theinstigator[xii]of liberty and modernity and science and understanding.
What alaughing stock[xiii]today’s student leaders are, that they can so casually dismiss the right to be offensive without realizing that their lovely, enlightened lives are the gift of individuals who gave offence; the gift of scientists, thinkers,agitators[xiv]who bravely showed theirarses[xv]to the dominant ideas of their eras. Their offensiveness made you free.
I know what some student leaders will say: "Oh, but our no-platforming is only about protecting individuals. We only want to protect women frommisogyny[xvi]and black students from racism, so our intolerance is progressive."
Please. How progressive is it to suggest that female students are so fragile that they can’t cope with seeing a pair oftits[xvii]inThe Sun? Because that doesn’t sound progressive to me — it soundspaternalistic[xviii].
How progressive is it to say black students need these wise, white student leaders to protect them from harmful ideas? Because that doesn’t sound progressive to me — it sounds neo-colonialist.
The fact is, today’s student leaders aren’t protecting individuals — they’re protecting an idea, and it’s the most mainstream, status quo idea of the 21st century.
It’s the idea of human weakness and incapacity; the poisonous notion that humans are fragile and therefore our speech and our interactions with each other must be monitored and policed and always checked for danger. It is this utterly orthodox,misanthropic[xix]idea that they promote, and protect from criticism, just as surely as priests onceringfenced[xx]their beliefs from ridicule.
In this choking,censorious[xxi]climate, where everything is treated as potentially offensive and all sorts of people are no-platformed or safe-spaced, we’ve got to move beyond talking about a right to offend — we have to talk about a duty to offend.
Anyone who cares for freedom and truth, anyone who believes that humanity only progresses through being daring and sometimes disrespectful, now has a duty torile[xxii]and stir andoutrage[xxiii]; a duty to break out of the new grey conformism; a duty to ridicule these new guardians of decency; a duty to tell them: "Fuck your orthodoxies."

Ladies and gentlemen, I have two jokes for you to begin this speech. The first comes from the piece ironically titled "Offence and Free Speech" by Frankie Boyle, and it goes like this. "The thing about that pedophile ring at Westminster is that they weren't even the worst MPs. They were people in Parliament who were to the right of MPs thatstrangledkids. And they actually did more harm than pedophiles. I mean, thenonces[xxiv] tried to do harm in their own little way, but Thatcher fucked all the kids."
The second joke goes like this. "What do you tell a woman with two black eyes? Nothing, you've already told her twice." Both of these jokes are offensive in the sense that they can shock, they can appall, they can cause personal upset. On the level of rights and freedoms, only one of these jokes matters.
Well, hoping to convince you of over the next few minutes is that framing this debate in terms of offence is an error. It's an error because it obscures a difference between the personal upset which might be caused to a person in a position of privilege by a joke or a comment or an insult, and contribution to oppression andprejudice[xxv] and structural inequalities which is made by comments aimed at people from groups which are marginalized in society.
Quickly I'd like to address a few of the points that Brendan just made. First I really really enjoyed his equation or promotion of gay rights in the late 19th century with his duty to flippantly misgender dead trans teens in articles on Spiked. It's an interesting juxtaposition. But I'd also quite like to talk about this idea that he came up with that any restriction on speech in the name of preventing harm, with that speech not actively inciting violence, is somehow paternalistic or infantilizing neo-colonial. "Students of Britain", he says in an article inThe Tab, "rise up against your censorious leaders. You're beingpatronized[xxvi]beyond belief. You're beinginfantilized[xxvii]. So buyThe Sun, play Robin Thicke on college radio, invite the EDL to speak, talk aboutabortion,[xxviii] make sexist jokes,indulge[xxix]inbanter,[xxx] hold debates on transgenderism, and do anything else you can tokick against the pricks[xxxi] who think you are babies who must be kept away from sexy or shocking or silly words."
Two responses to this. One, note that Brendon says that people against him are always white, privileged students. I'm not the only person saying this. Quite a lot of the people who are saying this are from non-privileged backgrounds, are women, are of color, are trans or homosexual or other of sexual orientations. It's just somewhat telling that I'm the one who gets invited to speak at the Oxford Union and they don't. It's almost as if structural prejudice actually exists.
Second, why is having a thick skin such an important trait to you? What's so important about being able to take insult after insult that youfetishize[xxxii] emotionalfortitude[xxxiii] in this way? Why can't you embrace the reality that some people in society are weak, they are vulnerable, they are hurt in ways that go beyond the temporary and emotional by the things that you say? Last time I spoke to Brendan, he quoted Martin Luther King. He said that "I'd like to live in society where people are judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin." So would I. But we don't live in that society yet. And we can only get there by acknowledging the very real problems and structural inequalities which already exist.
We have to be intentionally looking in the wrong direction as Brendan seems to be to see the very real everyday acts of small and large, with minor andviscerally[xxxiv]violent, which areperpetrated[xxxv] against people from marginalized groups, and which perpetuate that marginalization. Only by recognizing the oppression and harm happens on a structural level is contributed to by every offensive joke, no matter if it's ironic. Everythrowaway[xxxvi] remark about rape or domestic violence or mental illness, every racist cartoon, every "dog whistle"xenophobic[xxxvii] immigration panicDaily Mailarticle, every UNILAD fucking Facebook post.
Only when we recognize that can we begin to understand why offence is the wrong way to frame this debate. Instead of focusing on offence, we should be focusing on material harm, whether that be physical or psychological and there really isn't that much of a distinction between the two. This is all been said before in much moreeloquent[xxxviii] terms in an article on site Feministing by Katherine Cross, who says, "Being made to fear for your life is not the same as feeling hurt by speech. Losing your job as a result of stereotypes orharassment[xxxix]contained in speech is not the same as feeling personally offended by that speech. Being shot by the police because of ideas about your skin color transmitted through discourse is not the same as merely being offended by it. Beingouted[xl] against your will is not the same as having your feelings hurt by it. It is the deeds that flow from words which concern us, and which cannot be contained by the concept of offensiveness."
These are the kind of material harm with which we should concern ourselves. Speaking out against these acts which happen every single day across the world is a radical expression of free speech. Some people will tell you as Brendon does, the most important thing we can do is to listen to views we consider violent toxic, as they'reinciting[xli] racial hatred or transphobia, misogyny... is some kind of victory for enlightenment values. I think J.S. Mill will be sick to his stomach if he were alive to see the kind of people whoappropriated[xlii] his ideas today, and the ends to which they put them. Never mind the rhetorical tricks and flourishes and seductive prose, that awful people use to convince ordinary people to join in hatred. Instead of celebrating the down punching, the prejudice, thebigoted[xliii] acts of speech, that can besummoned[xliv]up in the name of free inquiry, we should be celebrating the uppunches, the radicals who offend those in power same as the ones you are talking about, the non-conformist who refuse to be cowed by bullies who will see the enlightenment and robust public debate as sticks to beat them. Yes, we should have freedom of speech. We should have debate. We should have argument andvigorous[xlv] disagreement. But we have to recognize that not all views are created equal. You do not have some protected right to give harm to people. And the word "offence" does not begin to cover the damage which our word can cause.
