A controversial author who was banned from speaking at a public library has vowed to take legal action against Nottingham Council. Julie Bindel says the authority has "discriminated against" her basic rights by "illegally banning" her from delivering her speech on the local authority's property.
Ms Bindel had been due to speak at Aspley Library about feminist activism on Saturday, June 25. However, the author learned that the booking had been cancelled by the council due to her views on transgender rights just a day before her talk took place.
Despite the cancellation, the event still went ahead - taking place in the library car park instead. A group opposing the talk from Nottingham Against Transphobia were also in attendance
