You need to look into the cases. Because what you are repeating is a lie that I know has been told by left wing rage bait media like The Young Turks and similar outlets.
> What are you talking about? I lived in the city—I rented a house with friends from my second year as most do rather than staying in halls (which are in Oadby), I went out all the time all over the place, as did everyone else. I didn't spend three years locked inside the University.
Lucky for you. Not everywhere is like where you happened to live. I gave the example of where I lived to demonstrate there are problems, very serious problems.
Just because someone in the US exaggerated the situation in Leicester, doesn't mean there aren't similar problems elsewhere.
> Given you are willing to claim it's rage bait media to point out people being extrajudicially imprisoned abroad for speech the admin in the US doesn't like, I'm not going to trust your judgement of how good freedom of expression is.
It not my fault that you are misinformed about the deportations. I don't live in the US and won't pretend the understand the legalities to the fullest extent. However the way you are framing the situation is not accurate.
Reread what they quoted. The statement as a whole is not true, he was correcting the latter part of it that made it false.
You say it isn't true, but then say "many", so it is true, just not in all cases? Just because others are being deported alongside you doesn't change that you are being sent to a foreign prison for speech, and with no due process anyone can be targeted.
> It depends which area of the city. The University will typically safer than other areas of a city. Most of the people there are students and there is campus security.

> As someone that lived outside the UK for long periods of time and knew what the country was like before the 2000s. This isn't true.
