SIS: Sound Intelligence Service

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

YBF campaigns tirelessly against campus bias and extreme left wing protests that disrupt the university experience. We’ve got eyes and ears at most universities, and some of you are very good at feeding us information. We get daily emails alerting us to campus bias. Recent examples of tip offs include:

- Alerting us that a lecturer at one university was urging his students not to attend a TaxPayers’ Alliance event – citing Polly Toynbee as a source.
- Reports that the Secretary of the Politics Department at a leading university was sending emails encouraging students to attend a pro Gaza rally in the face of “brutal Israeli aggression” – with no effort to appear balanced.
- Informing us of a university tutor who made a Political Ideologies class watch An Inconvenient Truth - with no coverage of the other side. 
- Highlighting a university tutor who is paid £200,000 of tax payers’ money to research “left wing theories of animal welfare protection, and an ethical approach to climate change.”  

YBF can respond quickly to such tip offs, as shown by our successful Support Our Troops campaign, which was in response to a tip off about the group Kick ‘em Off Campus. 

Don’t forget, that such information can also lead to YBF’s Grand Committee points – which can win you loads of sound prizes.  So do your bit for the Sound Intelligence Service, and email your campus tip offs to christian@ybf.org.uk. All emails can be treated anonymously.
