The globally renowned Oxford Union is being dragged down by the irresponsible actions of president-elect George Abaraonye. After posting vile messages following the fatal shooting of US political activist Charlie Kirk, he has been removed in a no confidence vote - but is now refusing to go.

Someone remind this him this union is meant to be a celebration of democracy.
