Warwick Student LGBT activists blasted music and chanted loudly outside a speech at a University Conservative Association talk featuring Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi.
Members of Warwick University’s LGBT group, Warwick Pride, shouted “Tory scum” outside the talk on Friday, as well as waving flags and placards stating “Trans rights are human rights.”
The Telegraph reported that Zahawi had to be ushered away by campus security guards.
The Warwick University student publication The Boar reported that protestors played rave and pop music at a very high volume, and loudly chanted statements that could be heard in the room.
