Oxford supporters of Respect Renewal have organized a meeting early in the term of the city’s two Universities, to follow up the very successful mobilization of students last year against the invitation to BNP leader Nick Griffin and holocaust-denying “historian” David Irving to speak at the Oxford Union (a private members’ club).
The meeting, in the Town Hall on Wednesday January 30th at 7.30pm, will feature Respect MP George Galloway, local Stop the War activist Ed Griffiths, and other speakers from local campaigns, and will be chaired by John Lister, health campaigner and joint editor of the new Respect newspaper.
The main theme will be the need for a new, progressive alternative to the bungling and reactionary New Labour government of Gordon Brown, which is now threatening real terms pay cuts for 5 million public sector workers every year for the next three years.
As the leaflet says - “working people deserve better than New Labour: let’s build it”.
