MP quits Oxford Union in BNP row
"A senior Conservative MP has resigned his membership of the Oxford Union as the pressure mounted on the organisers of tonight's debate on free speech to withdraw an invitation to Nick Griffin, of the British National Party, and Holocaust denier David Irving".
And from the Guardian...
'Awful, abhorrent' - but Oxford insists the debate must go on
and this...
Students need to know what sort of dangerous people are out there
The Oxford Union was after easy publicity when it invited David Irving and Nick Griffin - but the debate can do no harm
The take from the Independent...
Critics line up to attack Oxford Union over 'free speech' debate
Hundreds of demonstrators are expected tonight outside the Oxford Union where two leading figures from the British far right are due to appear as speakers.
