ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus

My god, you guys are doing her dirty picking these thumbnails

[@TheMagicLemur]

Good, but not can't hold a candle to the '28 Days later' version. 😅

[@SilvanBennett]

the "28 days later version" is an Ave Maria by Charles Gounod set to J.S. Bach's C Major Prelude, whilst this Ave Maria was written by Franz Schubert - two completely different pieces which only share the title

​@MusicSilvan Fair enough - it's not exactly the world of difference though and the 28 Days later one is better. Rather like Stand by me by Oasis is garbage and the Ben E. King 'version' is sublime This one is the boring Father Ted Lent Hold music one, sung better.
