Come debate with us in St John’s College, Oxford (Larkin Room in Tom White Quad) on Wednesday 12 June, from 7 to 8 pm.

 ? ? Free refreshments will be provided.

The one-hour session will be followed by an informal discussion in the college’s bar.

No debate experience or political background is necessary. We value diversity of perspectives and opinions.
