 Former Manchester United star Paul Scholes handed six-month driving ban Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has been handed a six month driving ban after he racked up two convictions in the space of two days. The 51-year-old was caught speeding in a Range Rover in March while on a late-night drive through Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire. West Yorkshire Police brought a prosecution over the incident, as Scholes’ car had been clocked at 37mph on a 30mph stretch of residential road. The ex-England star was also taken to task by Greater Manchester Police after a Mercedes registered in his name was caught driving at 49mph in a 30mph zone in November last year. Scholes was then prosecuted for failing to respond to two police letters asking for confirmation that he had been the speeding driver. The two criminal cases culminated in hearings on two days last week, when Scholes was handed a six-month driving ban and ordered to pay fines, costs, and court fees totalling £1,472. A ...

TEXAS STATE PROFESSOR SUES UNIVERSITY, CLAIMING FREE SPEECH RETALIATION OVER PRO-PALESTINIAN TALK. (PHOTO).



 Texas State professor sues university, claiming free speech retaliation over pro-Palestinian talk

Idris Robinson, an assistant professor of philosophy at Texas State University, has filed a lawsuit against the school, claiming his free speech rights were violated and that he faced retaliation after giving a talk on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Robinson, whose contract is set to expire in May, is asking a federal court to block the university from terminating his employment.

The lawsuit states that Robinson was placed on administrative leave on June 6, 2025, shortly after online activists called for his firing over a 2024 talk he gave as a private citizen at the Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair in Asheville, North Carolina. The presentation, titled “Strategic Lessons from the Palestinian Resistance,” addressed Hamas’s attack on Israel in October 2023 and Israel’s military actions in Gaza. During the event, a skirmish occurred involving four audience members and three pro-Israel activists who were livestreaming, resulting in minor injuries to the activists. Three attendees later pleaded guilty to simple assault, and a fourth pleaded guilty to resisting a public officer.

Robinson was not identified as a suspect or witness in the official police report, but he says he was subjected to widespread online harassment, which led to the university placing him on leave despite strong performance reviews. The lawsuit claims the university acted in response to online pressure rather than any direct concern about the talk itself. Robinson’s legal action also highlights an Instagram post accusing him of glorifying terrorism and calling for his termination, which he says fueled the university’s decision not to renew his contract.

He is part of a growing group of professors who have faced scrutiny or disciplinary measures over pro-Palestinian commentary in recent years, with similar disputes prompting legal challenges against federal authorities for actions taken against students and faculty linked to such protests.
