Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Wellno, sorry, but the Oxford Union isn't restricting your right to free speech by not letting you debate there. It has the right to invite who it wants, which is exactly why is should have the right to invite Nick Griffin and David Irving.
There were months of lobbying, meetings, and petitions to stop the Union inviting them, the Union attended meetings with various groups, discussed its position, and even held a vote among its members as to whether they should be invited (it passed). This protest is not an attempt to persuade the Oxford Union not to invite members, it's an attempt to disrupt the debate.
