The President of Oxon Universities' Reform Society (OURS) and a former Reform UK council candidate, Vittorio Cuneo-Flood, wrote that Satan “sow[s] confusion and spread[s] perplexity” through “the false notion of ‘Anti-Semitism’” in a 2024 article for a Christian newsletter, in writings uncovered by Stand Up to Racism.
The Stand Up To Racism counter-protest, made up of around 50 people, met the Oxfordshire Patriots protests, made up of about 13 people, at Carfax Tower. From Cornmarket Street, they followed the Patriots down St Aldate's Street, Speedwell Street, and round Westgate, ending at Bonn Square. At Bonn Square, the rival protesters faced off around the war memorial, chanting back and forth at each other.
The Oxford Union rejected the motion ‘The UK Should Withdraw From The ECHR’, following ongoing calls for Britain to leave, with the most significant political declaration coming from Conservative Party Leader Kemi Badenoch.
