Inside the Oxford Union debate where Tommy Robinson lost to a Palestinian student from Gaza
Tommy Robinson, also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, participated in a debate at the Oxford Union hosted by Palestinian student Arwa Elrayess, who defended his right to free speech. The motion 'This House believes the West is right to be suspicious of Islam' failed to pass, and the event faced significant protest delays. The debate, hosted by a globally recognized institution, will be published online later this year.
