Robert Moses and the Shaping of New York, Part 1
H
8:44Holly FreyHOST
Uh, he completed his undergraduate degree in 1909, and then he went to Wadham College, Oxford for his master's degree.
H
8:52Holly FreyHOST
And Moses made a really strong, positive impression on his fellow students in England, and he was elected president of the Oxford Union.
H
9:00Holly FreyHOST
That's the debating society.
H
9:02Holly FreyHOST
He is the only student from the US to have ever held that position as far as I could tell.
BRITISH CIVIL WAR BETWEEN WORKING CLASS & ELITES AS DANNY DYER EXPLODES & RUPERT LOWE ATTACKED
D
26:17Dan WoottonHOST
So there's a couple of things.
D
26:19Dan WoottonHOST
Firstly, do you remember there was that debate at the Oxford Union last month and the leftists tried to stop Tommy Robinson and Lawrence Fox even being able to debate it? And Jacob Rees-Mogg was on the opposing team.
D
26:33Dan WoottonHOST
He was on the pro-Islam team.
D
26:36Dan WoottonHOST
So there are a lot of questions about his true motivations.
S4E2: Likes, Lies and Geopolitics - ft Stuart Jubb
S
35:17Stuart JubbGUEST
I also think that If you look at coming back to the divided nature of some of these information events, a good example is if you look at universities.
S
35:32Stuart JubbGUEST
So I think it's probably almost impossible to have a debate at a university now where you look at the Oxford Union debates.
S
35:41Stuart JubbGUEST
you're either here or you're here.
S
35:43Stuart JubbGUEST
There's no constructive debate.
Episode 3: The week in review (w/c 14th September)
S
38:13SidneyHOST
It seems really snobby.
S
38:14SidneyHOST
It's like, you know, when I pointed out Oxford Union, how that's quite, like, it's very prestigious, but it's also, you know, both good and bad.
S
38:22SidneyHOST
and I feel like we also need more questions so if anyone has any please you know message anyway but it's kind of the same logic in my opinion where it's like you know it's good for experience but you know if you want to be seen like this down to earth person you shouldn't be doing it like it doesn't make you seem like a big snob but anyway Lib Dem Conference that's what's going on right now And I'm heartbroken.

Arianna Huffington On Living Well
A
13:15Arianna HuffingtonGUEST
the final debate, the farewell debate, the president spoke.
A
13:19Arianna HuffingtonGUEST
So I spoke in that debate, which, believe it or not, the Cambridge Union and the Oxford Union were so important at the time that the BBC carried the debate.
A
13:31Andrew SullivanHOST
Really? Yes.
A
13:32Arianna HuffingtonGUEST
And and this English publisher saw me in the debate and wrote to me asking me if I would like to write a book on the topic of the debate.
Hasan Minhaj
H
33:32Hasan MinhajGUEST
And one of the kind of sub themes that we have in the movie is this idea of what do we do with the Koh-i-Noor diamonds? This is something that's been talked about deep for a long time.
H
33:42Hasan MinhajGUEST
Oxford Union, reparations, the case for reparations.
H
33:46Hasan MinhajGUEST
It should be given back to India.
H
33:48Hasan MinhajGUEST
And I thought there was something that was really powerful in it.
Stormers vs Connacht
J
6:10John DobsonGUEST
Which made me feel really, really good.
J
6:12John DobsonGUEST
The chips mean Jamie is going to the Oxford Union.
J
6:15John DobsonGUEST
Or so he says.
J
6:15John DobsonGUEST
But he's entitled to that break.
Britain Has Had Enough
C
12:05Connor TomlinsonHOST
Even though there are questions raised about state involvement in these protests via its organiser, Danny Tomo, who delivered a speech, actually, on the banks to the police and the RNLI and appealed to their sense of honour, saying, your grandfathers didn't fight the Nazis so that their homeland could be invaded too, even though there were questions about him because he once went to prison for attempted kidnapping.
C
12:28Connor TomlinsonHOST
And of course, as we know from Tommy Robinson's presentation to the Oxford Union, If you are incarcerated and you're involved in various patriotic or dissident political movements, the intelligence services will come to you and say, in return for knocking some time off your sentence, if you'd like to cooperate with us, if you'd like to be an informant, embed yourself in future political campaigns and feedback to us, essentially act as a pressure release valve, public discontent, a containment agent.
C
12:56Connor TomlinsonHOST
then we'll let you out of prison early.
C
12:58Connor TomlinsonHOST
And Dammitomo, you know, being in prison and then heading up a platform which says, be a part of these protests which hide your identity, which you need to do, of course, if you're going to do this, because you could be arrested by the police or sacked from your job or trying to block criminals from coming into the country.
Remembering Bonnie Greer
D
39:03Deborah Frances-WhiteHOST
And if anyone has a religion or a faith, that's cool, you know, that nobody's trying to undermine an individual's religious faith or non-faith or whatever.
D
39:13Deborah Frances-WhiteHOST
but last night I went to the Oxford Union to debate Roe v.
D
39:17Deborah Frances-WhiteHOST
Wade, which I've mentioned, and on the other team was Erin Hawley, who was one of the lawyers that overturned Roe v.
D
39:24Deborah Frances-WhiteHOST
Wade.
1104. How the War CHANGED Putin's Propaganda Machine - Does it Still Work?
J
17:46Jonathan FinkHOST
no.
J
17:47Jonathan FinkHOST
He did come to the Oxford Union, which is why sort of, you know, I'd forgotten about him, but it brought to my attention, and that was 2025.
J
17:56Jonathan FinkHOST
And the Oxford Union has put on a lot of, I would say, morally dubious debates, the equivalent of, you know, student society clickbait.
J
18:08Jonathan FinkHOST
Was it the Russian society? Some of them have been sponsored by that.
J
18:12Jonathan FinkHOST
I think this was the main union debate.
