Oxford Union invites far right leader
10:00am Friday 12th July 2013 in Oxford
THE Oxford Union has confirmed that it invited English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson to speak.
The leader of the far right group was asked via Twitter to address the debating society.
Union spokesman Robert Natzler said it was not affiliated to the university student union or the university and added: ?For over 150 years it has been hosting debates and working to enable members to interrogate controversial figures.
?A formal invitation in no way represents an endorsement of an individual?s beliefs and merely reflects a desire to question an individual?s views in open debate.?
The union?s Simon Blackaby said ?If everyone thought the same the debate would be boring.?
Mr Robinson said he would be willing to appear but had not received an invitation
