Snippet:
Several hundred protesters gathered in central Oxford on 17 June as far-right activist Tommy Robinson arrived to take part in a debate at the Oxford Union. Demonstrators assembled outside the historic debating society, carrying placards and chanting slogans against Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, as security kept watch around the venue.
