No platforming is a very dangerous affront because it prevents impressionable students from hearing other views that what the lefty hierarchy want them to hear. Such zealots often make the top of the Students Union tree or other levers of student power.
The scale of damage done by demonstrators trying to eradicate our history goes beyond the scale of the problem.
We have spent decades bending over backwards for the minorities and it's always the ethnic Brits who are the baddies, the institutionalist racists. The assault on our culture is real.

They don't want to eradicate our history, they would just like a less whitewashed version of it...
Our culture has always been about adapting and including - cultures grow, because if they get static, they decay; you know, cultural institutions like tea (from India), curries (mostly from Bangladesh), Punch and Judy (Italian), the Women's Institute (Canada), the C of E (breakaway from the RC church), our Royalty (Sax-Coburg-Gotha), the English Language (Latin and Germanic roots), etc., etc.
Every culture is an amalgam of the cultures around it combined with their own particular cultural experience and history
