Asylum Welcome is saddened and disappointed by the decision of the Oxford Union to provide a platform for Stephen Yaxley-Lennon for a second time.
We stand in solidarity with those who feel distressed and targeted by this event, and we will continue our work to ensure that Oxford remains a place of welcome, compassion, and mutual respect.
Ten years after the murder of Jo Cox, we are reminded of her words: “We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.”
At a time when hostility and fear are increasingly amplified in public life, we believe these words matter more than ever.
