Courtesy of Edward Spalton my attention is drawn to this post from The Freedom Association, one which reports on a debate at the Oxford Union.
"Last night (4th January) the East of England UKIP MEP and farmer, Stuart Agnew won a surprise victory in the Oxford Union Conference debate on the motion: “This House believes that British Agriculture could thrive outside of the European Union.” He debated against Liberal Democrat MP, Andrew George and Young Farmers Club Agriculture Committee Member, Mark Houlton.......Which just goes to prove that once debate is allowed and people are able to voice an opinion, political spin and misinformation counts for nowt!
......In a straw poll taken before the debate, 80% of the delegates voted against the motion. By the end of the evening Mr Agnew and his seconder, Ms Milly Wastie, East Midlands Regional Officer of the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution, had turned the audience around and achieved a shock victory by 195 votes to 186."
Just saying...........
