The EAA shameful soap opera continues. The local organising committee in Serbia was not consulted or involved in the email sent to the students who were tasked with banning any dissent from established scholars (!).

New statement from #EAA.

Now is it just me or does Yvette Cooper talking about Palestine Action spring to mind???
