“As a student struggling with severe clinical depression, my suicidal tendencies have been through the roof. After reaching out to Sheffield Hallam, minimal support was offered to me”
“Failure to complete maintenance requests, having to move flags due to leaking pipes, mice infestation, not being there for 6 weeks over Christmas, locked in with no mental health services”
“Quality of my flat is disgusting for what I’m paying -mouse infestation, silverfish infestation, leak so no water in our flat currently and no form of compensation”
- “Had no hot water since Sep,nothing has been done”

⁃"I’ve had multiple issues with my apartment such as broken toilet, mould growing by the door, no heating and no electricity”

⁃"There are rats running round the accommodation and staff are always losing my parcels”
“I was told I would be in uni so I moved to Sheffield to make life easier for myself, but I haven’t been into uni once! I’m doing a nursing degree and learned to give injections over a YouTube video"
“There has been at least one security breach when the door to our block was ripped open from the outside and multiple people walked in from the street”
"Accommodations won't kick out sex pests and after telling security people got told "that's what you get for being pretty'"
"Security are all over the place, some are nice but some take things far too seriously and invade our privacy which makes me feel very unsafe”
- "My accomm has a nice infestation and I have found droppings in my frying pan”

- "Its depressing being locked in the flat and the only reason I stay there is because I’m forced to pay the rent”

- "Pinnacle's security walk into flats at anytime noseying about, its so weird”
"In quarantine when we had no food we requested offered food vouchers and Hallam responded a month later and the vouchers weren't able to be used on home deliveries?"

Tomorrow, January 6th, MAGA chuds, Proud Boys, and white supremacists are planned to descend on Washington D.C. to contest the election. Among them will be NSC-131, a New England based neo-Nazi organization. Let's welcome them by saying hi to one of their members, Eddie Stuart!


Edward Stuart, from Chester, New Hampshire, has been a member of Nationalist Social Club (NSC) since the very beginning and is a staple participant in their actions. He is known in NSC chats as "Carl Jung" and is well connected in the New England Nazi scene.

NSC-131 is a neo-Nazi group that was started in Massachusetts in early 2020 by Chris Hood. You can learn more about NSC and it's members in these threads:


Eddie describes his ideology as "Esoteric Hitlerism" which is an occult form of Nazism that literally worships Adolf Hitler as a god, or, specifically, as an incarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu. Here is Ed holding the RigVeda with some of his occult Nazi pals. Interesting Ed!

Much of this ideological insight was gained from Eddie's Twitter, where he originally used his "Carl Jung" persona and reposts explicit neo-fascist content and racist memes. In one edited picture, Eddie can be seen at an NSC event in late June 2020 holding a Nazi Sonnenrad flag

Two things can be true at once:
1. There is an issue with hostility some academics have faced on some issues
2. Another academic who himself uses threats of legal action to bully colleagues into silence is not a good faith champion of the free speech cause


I have kept quiet about Matthew's recent outpourings on here but as my estwhile co-author has now seen fit to portray me as an enabler of oppression I think I have a right to reply. So I will.

I consider Matthew to be a colleague and a friend, and we had a longstanding agreement not to engage in disputes on twitter. I disagree with much in the article @UOzkirimli wrote on his research in @openDemocracy but I strongly support his right to express such critical views

I therefore find it outrageous that Matthew saw fit to bully @openDemocracy with legal threats, seeking it seems to stifle criticism of his own work. Such behaviour is simply wrong, and completely inconsistent with an academic commitment to free speech.

I am not embroiling myself in the various other cases Matt lists because, unlike him, I think attention to the detail matters and I don't have time to research each of these cases in detail.
