ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.

The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus

    The fact that students cheered more on low grade insults than the arguments is why we are in this position across the world.
  • @sierranexi
    "Britain didn't bomb civilians" LMAO. Girl you don't even want to know what the allies did to win that war.
  • @stgraves260
    When you start off a conversation with insults your credibility is voided
  • @carlysmith2601
    The kid from the Czech Republic was the only respectable person to come up to that podium and talk to Ben.
  • @paulo1787
    This was shocking, a student telling a guest to shut up was the height of rudeness, reflects very badly on Oxford, I was shocked
  • @JeFilm94
    “It’s my displeasure.” “Shut up.” How very elevated of this young man. Really showing his qualities, and the unfortunate and sad state of this institution.
  • He took them all on. No note taking, And he was able to categorize their whole arguments and respond. Damn
  • @user-th2rs1di2g
    These kids should ask for a refund from Oxford . It's Embarrassing
  • @danischannel
    Lost her entire argument when she said Britain wasn't attacking civilians
  • When that woman said "Britain wasn't bombing Germans..." I did a massive face slap and realised then that UK history lessons are clearly not up to standard.
  • @Tik.i
    You notice how one side is emotional and insulting while the other is calm and engaging in good faith
  • @laca103
    As an atheist I'm usually delighted to see Ben's arguments utterly destroyed. But I have to admit, he is totally right here. He earned my respect.
  • @peytonthomas4338
    It is absolutely idiotic that we live in a time where being childish and immature gets you the loudest applause.
  • @tkennedyza
    Best ad ever to not hire an Oxford graduate
  • I stopped watching after about 18 minutes because the students are so ill-informed. Dare I say stupid? At least Ben is trying to have a civil debate unlike most of the students. It makes me sad to think that these young people are our future😢
  • @Johnnyboy-bo1cp
    How are these kids in university?!!?!? They’re so rude and unprofessional
  • @robertjackson301
    It’s embarrassing to think this was once a top class University. If this is the best we have to offer then God help us all.
  • @rogerdavis3752
    Totally shocked at how rude these students were. Their arrogance was breathtaking, peace will not happen with that approach.
  • I disagree with Ben Shapiro on a lot of things but I have to admit that this was a savage performance from him
  • @MrMajsterixx
    remember : when u say "shut up" in an intelectual debate, you are immedeatly discredited
