The censorship is an attack on us all - solidarity.

This is a perfect example of appalling treatment of its students by UCL. Something needs to be done to show this approach is not escaping our notice, and will not be taken lying down. Kudos to Ms Pinnington for speaking out, and shame on UCL for its responses so far.

Pressure on UCL to reduce rents is vital if admission to UCL is to continue to be on merit only, as it should be. Publication of the story - assuming the facts are correct - is therefore definitely in the public interest.

Any action UCL takes that appears to seek to interfere with the freedom of the press is very concerning: and to threaten and bully a student is also completely unacceptable.

I completely support the right of free press and condemn any penalty regarding the right to express one's views especially when it comes to such a sensitive and significant issue that concerns all students at UCL.

having last year paid £210 a week for a boxy room in John Dodgson house that suffered from loud noises from the adjoining pub, with bottles being loudly dumped in the bins at 3am, severely impacting my sleep and quality of life and education, no hot water for several months and a dead cooker, I feel that for UCL to charge any more than they do is tantamount to extortion. Furthermore, in their role as an educator, there should be an onus on them to provide accommodation for their students at as low a cost as possible.

As a twice-over UCL Alumnus, I feel very strongly about this breach of freedom of speech!

UCL should commit to continuing to hone and encourage young talent to question, investigate, and challenge any authority, structure or institutionalised ideology that puts the general public or individual in second place. That's what it stands for: progress, development, bettering society, and standing up for values and ethics. As such, transparency - but also embracing challenge - should be at its heart. If its been put in disrepute, it is because it deserves it. UCL, you lied, face it with integrity.
