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

    As if Pelosi didn’t make herself look bad, this gentleman’s articulate, intelligent and logical delivery makes her look even worse.
  • @loriw5457
    At my age (67), hearing this young man gives me hope - thank you Sir !
  • @asevado
    Too many people applauding and cheering for Pelosi. They're all fools.
  • @neomonk5668
    As an American I must say I can not thank Mr. Marshall enough. 100% on every point!
  • As an American, I’m embarrassed at how a representative of congress conducted herself during this debate and kept spewing the same talking points of the Democratic Party which has been dismissed by the ordinary people. Pelosi and all others like her are the problem in my country. They have lost sight of why they were elected, which was to serve the will of the people. Please pray for America, for we have lost our way.

    What an awesome speech. As a working class American, you hit the nail on the head. Best part is Nancy had to sit and listen to every single truth that you spoke of. I applaud you Mr. Marshall. BTW, I am spreading this on Facebook and Truth Social.
  • @nohandle62
    She is so severely outclassed by this young man. It's wonderful. 😁
  • @kficandothis
    Good grief, Nancy Pelosi interrupted so inappropriately! This young man speaks the truth!
  • @JohnDoe-ou3ze
    This guy completely rocked it, owned the argument, and owned angry Pelosi. Great orator too.

    Homeschooling mother of seven here in Texas, cheering you on Winston! Our family loves you for standing your ground for a person’s right to read whatever they want, and speak plainly, publicly and freely.
  • @KingBarnaDuke
    Populism vs Elitism. Democracy vs Authoritarianism. Cohesion vs Division. Truth vs lies. Thank you Winston.

    Dearest England…would you consider a trade? Keep Nancy and give us Winston? He’s a brilliant breath of fresh air. God bless Mr. Marshall. Love from GA, USA.
  • Nancy felt so entitled to interrupt Winston Marshall, how rude and childish. The old guard needs to step down. Thank you WM, great speech! RFK 2024
