It is ironic that a debate over freedom of speech has been generated by the invitation of a British fascist leader to the Oxford Union when far more serious worries have arisen over this issue regarding the sacking of nurse Karen Reissmann.
Two striking health workers from Manchester are visiting us, and Oxfordshire people are becoming increasingly aware of this sacking and the mass protest strike defending Reissmann, a union steward, for speaking out against NHS cuts.
We call for the immediate reinstatement of Karen Reissmann by her trust. We urge people to oppose this injust action and contact the Unison health branch on 01865 770022.
