'DOES Oxford have a free speech problem?' is the title of a debate to be held tonight at the town hall.

Oxford Free-Speech Group has invited all to join its free group discussion of the issue and said 'all opinions welcome'.

It comes after a string of protests against controversial speakers at the Oxford Union debating chamber including French far-right politician Marion Marechal-Le Pen last month and President Trump's former strategist Steve Bannon in November.

Tonight's discussion will be held at Oxford Town Hall, St Aldate's, from 7pm to 8.30pm.
