June 12th, 2023. Tweets, videos, quotations. Former MI6, Sir Roger John Sawers, March 2022 discussion at the Oxford Union is worth watching again. Elections every four years … recommend article below. Cambridge Analytica links to Russia resulting in sanctions back in 2018. Recall what was done via the trawling of Facebook – it is so relevant now.

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: https://oxford-union.org/supportus
