Kirk and Abaraonye had debated toxic masculinity during an Oxford Union event in May: Report

xLONDON : The prestigious Oxford debating society voted to oust its incoming president over comments that appeared to celebrate the killing of U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the Oxford Union said Tuesday.
