Durham Union Society have challenged the BNP to a debate
Durham’s Union Society, one of the world’s oldest student debating societies, have challenged Andrew Brons MEP and Chris Beverley to take part in a debate on multiculturalism.
The DUS motion is as follows: “This house believes in a multicultural Britain”. For the proposal will be Kulveer Ranger, an advisor to Boris Johnson, and Conservative MP Edward Leigh.
Arguing against will be Brons and Beverley, Brons’ chief of staff.
Last night, Nothing British spoke to an official from the anti-BNP UAF who confirmed they were against the decision of DUS to challenge the BNP.
UAF are reported elsewhere as saying:
“It defies belief. It is a huge error of judgement and they should think about their university’s reputation. It is outrageous.”
UAF’s decision to not to challenge the BNP in a debate is a pity.
Our views on the BNP being challenged in a debate are already well known. We support any democratic attempt to take the BNP’s revolting views on race and identity head on. We also believe other dubious areas need challenging such as their economic policy. Their attempts to hijack British identity and patriotism must also be stopped. The BNP need to hear these messages loud and clear. In a democratic society debate is the only suitable forum to achieve this.
For more information on Brons please read our briefing note here.
