On Sunday evening, Goldsmiths Students' Union (GSU) and the Goldsmiths Comedy Society pulled the plug on an upcoming gig by feminist comedian Kate Smurthwaite. Smurthwaite's comedy show, Leftie Cock Womble, is almost as excruciating to say as it is to count the number of tickets it sold (eight). Smurthwaite, who cites 'freedom of speech' as one of her comic topics, has since used the hashtag #Smurthgate on Twitter in an attempt to rally feminist support.
