Err... no, not "the Oxford Union talked about in the following link that only sounds elitist".

It might help if the writer of that article had got their facts right or even been consistent. Talking about the Oxford Union Conservative Association at one point and the Oxford University Conservative Association at another - actually it isn't called either now - ditto Cambridge, is inaccurate but that doesn't seem to bother folks who write articles like this. And no, it's nothing to do with THE Oxford Union which is a debating society.

the Oxford Union - The Oxford Union

Oxford Conservative Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cambridge University Conservative Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BTW what's happened to this thread - it seems to be still part of an Olympics thread and the post I made two days ago about the Oxford Union on the Boris thread seems to have disappeared... although Dianne refers to it in her quote.
