Tommy Robinson’s Oxford Union speech branded a ‘security risk’

Who is causing the risk? It won’t be not far wrong patriots, that’s for sure.  From the Telegraph

Tommy Robinson’s appearance at the Oxford Union has been described as a potential security risk by the leader of the city’s council.

The far-Right activist is set to take part in a debate on Wednesday in support of the motion “This house believes the West is right to be suspicious of Islam”.

The proposed event has led to an outcry from faith leaders, politicians and campaign groups. They have called on the 203-year-old student debating society, which is independent of Oxford University, to withdraw its invitation.

Susan Brown, the leader of Oxford city council, said she was “deeply concerned” about Robinson’s appearance, which would require a security operation “involving extensive police resources and road closures”. In a statement, she said: “Oxford is a proudly diverse, multicultural city. Whilst we are committed to free speech and open debate, that must be balanced against ensuring all our residents can live free from hatred, intimidation and harm. . .

. . . The Oxford Union must meet the full costs of staging their event, rather than leaving Oxford’s taxpayers to pick up the bill.”

The debate, which will also involve Laurence Fox, the actor turned activist, and Jacob Rees-Mogg, the former Conservative MP, was due to take place last month but was delayed after the backlash to Robinson’s involvement.
