Douglas Murray speaks on theatre 'bullied' into cancelling his event
Author Douglas Murray says he does not think “anyone is safe in modern Britain” after his event at the Apollo Theatre in London was moved due to protests and venue staff suffering leaked addresses and abuse. “I was meant to be speaking at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in the heart of the west end, 1,000 people were turning out and the theatre was bullied into cancelling the event on the day,” Mr Murray told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi. “The event was moved to a synagogue which was the only place the police could protect. “Some of the staff were threatened … the staff said they wouldn’t turn up to work so then more people were brought in from another theatre and they had their addresses leaked. “They were apparently threatened and intimidated in turn and they too refused to turn up.”
