Report from the Union: I got back a little while ago from hearing Josh Chafetz speak at the Oxford Union opposing the resolution "This House believes we are losing the peace." I'm sure that Josh will be too modest to mention this on his own site, but one of the speakers in favor of the resolution, Tam Dalyell MP, described Josh's speech as the best prepared speech he had heard at the Union in 17 appearances there.

(Of course, Dalyell also repeated false claims that Saddam was not responsible for Halabja and described the Gulf War as a reaction to insults from the Kuwaiti government, while his colleage Jeremy Corbyn MP spoke of the dangerous policies of Perle and Vulfervitz. But that was all to be expected.)
