| Subject: Leftist retards pimping censorship: ‘Marine Le Pen is a fascist & not welcome here’: Protests over Oxford Union invite Wed Feb 04, 2015 4:16 am | |
| Anti-fascist groups are rallying in Oxford to protest the Oxford Union’s decision to invite Le Front National leader Marine Le Pen to speak on campus. More than 300 people have signed an open letter urging the Union to cancel the event. The controversial far-right leader is due to speak at the illustrious university Union on February 5, much to the disgust of local anti-fascist groups, who have organized a protest rally at Oxford Town Hall. The open letter has garnered support from professors, students, councilors and residents who believe le Pen should not be given a platform. Labour councilor John Tanner, who will be chairing the Unite Against Fascism (UAF) rally at Oxford Town Hall on Wednesday, said: “The Oxford Union debating club should not be giving a platform to extreme right-wing politicians like Marine Le Pen.” “I urge the Oxford Union to cancel the invitation. Oxford’s tradition of tolerance, racial harmony and internationalism is too precious to be jeopardized by this irresponsible stunt,” he added. Le Pen provoked outrage in early January after using the attacks on the Paris office of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo to launch attacks on Muslims and immigrants.
