Ku Klux Klan hood placed on Oxford Cecil Rhodes statue in speech protest
Campaign group Led By Donkeys placed a white Ku Klux Klan hood and a "Racists Welcome Here" sign on Oriel College's Cecil Rhodes statue to protest Nathan Cofnas's upcoming talk, an academic who accused the late Cambridge professor Jason Arday of plagiarism. Dozens of academics, MPs and celebrities had urged the college to cancel the event, which Oriel says it is permitting under its statutory free-speech duty.
