The Free Speech Union, the campaign group founded by Toby Young, is facing internal allegations of racism and sexually inappropriate remarks, the Guardian reports. Chief operating officer Sigrun Olafsdottir allegedly told a junior colleague she would never hire a black person, and left the organisation last week. Legislative affairs director Sam Armstrong is accused of repeatedly discussing actor Sydney Sweeney's body in a staff meeting.
