University's invitation to BNP leader withdrawn

STUDENTS at Prince William’s university yesterday withdrew their invitation to the leader of the British National Party to speak at a debate, after a storm of protest.

Nick Griffin had been invited by members of St Andrews University Debating Society to take part in a debate on the shortcomings of multiculturalism.

The National Union of Students in Scotland had sent a fax to all student associations in the country calling on the society to withdraw the invitation.
