Reform UK President Calls Protestors 'Violent Censorship'

On 30 January 2026, Dylan Caddick, president of Students for Reform at Sussex University, addressed the BBC’s People’s Channel following protests at the university campus. Caddick said left‑wing activists had used “violent censorship” against the student society’s public channels, including GB News. He warned that the demonstrations had become “dangerous” and disclosed that he had been “worried for my safety”. Caddick criticised the protesters for targeting the Reform UK society, arguing that the group was simply exercising its right to debate political views. The incident highlights growing tensions around campus free‑speech disputes, as student bodies across the UK face renewed scrutiny over dissent and safety on campus.
