Another term, another Oxford Union scandal. This time the highly prestigious free speech society has invited far-right activist Tommy Robinson to a debate on Islam.
Outrage has erupted. Hundreds of people have signed an open letter against the decision. A bishop and an imam have come together to publish a joint statement denouncing it. Former cabinet minister Anneleise Dodds has condemned the invite.
Protests are anticipated and the event may be made impossible due to security risks. Some believe the union will soon be forced to cancel the debate.
But there's a plot twist: the president of the Oxford Union this term is a Muslim student, of Palestinian origin.
On Wednesday Middle East Eye went to Oxford to meet Arwa Elrayess, aged 20.
