For the record, we will never change our name
I AM writing regarding the use of the name Isis used by a jihadist terrorist group in the Middle East. Fortunately, we here at Isis Removals have yet to receive any negative feedback in the regard to the name Isis.
The citizens of Oxford naturally already know of the name of our river.
Given the fact that quite a number of current political leaders were educated here in Oxford, we should perhaps though – as a city and a university – turn this heightened awareness of the Isis name to positively advance the causes of democracy and freedom.
For the record we will never change our name.
S Smalley, Banbury Road, Oxford
