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

If Noah Robson has a million fans, i’m one of them. If Noah Robson has 10 fans, i’m one of them. If Noah Robson has 1 fan, that fan is me. If Noah Robson no longer has fans, i’m no longer alive. If the world is against Noah Robson, i am against the world.

Please can you at least include the order of speeches in the video title..?! Impossible to follow otherwise and figuring it out via the descriptions has left me too frustrated to bother watching Even better would be to upload the videos in chronological order…

I’ve watched the entirety of this debate, and there are valid points on both sides however, there is a conflation between an individuals professional influence, and their informal influence as celebrities and public figures. Context matters: depending on an individuals position, then yes we have a right to judge, contingent on their position, and if it in the public interest or not. You can’t conflate the judgement of the private lives of politicians in positions of power, with public figures on Instagram. You can’t amalgamate two vasty different positions in society, into one debate - the debate was flawed.

Oh come on Every day Learn what you can, Most especially, where you already have ability and knowledge. Once becoming an expert in one field of study, you will be able to secure greater potential for trade and even further growth in that field. Once one has at least 1 good trade, but preferably 5 or more tradeable skills, the greater expansiveness of awareness and increased articulation. Good luck Each of us have potential, great potential
