Police spent ten minutes unsticking a transgender politics activist who attempted to disrupt a speech at a prestigious debating society by Professor Kathleen Stock, who articulated her concerns that some institutions are being transformed into “propaganda machines”.

Police were stationed at the Oxford Union debating society on Tuesday evening as a march of transgender interest protesters attempted to prevent a speech going ahead by Professor Kathleen Stock. Proceedings were temporarily suspended, the Daily Telegraph reported of the incident, after a group of protesters who had made themselves inconspicuous in the audience burst up while Professor Stock spoke.
