Oxford, ‘no platform’ and free speech battles: A short history
This week former Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who was in charge of the Home Office at the time of the Windrush scandal in 2018, was disinvited by the UNWomen Oxford Society after originally inviting Rudd to speak for International Women’s Day.

Here is the blurb: This book is the first to outline the history of the […]

One was Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU), which was supported by China and North Korea. The other was Joshua Nkomo’s Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU), which was supported by the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc and […]
