Tory students at London university condemned for hosting debate on ‘reinstating the British Empire’
- Members of the Liberate KCL society protest against Tory student debate on the "reinstatement" of the British Empire.

TORY students at a London university have been accused of glorifying genocide after holding a debate to discuss the restoration of the British empire. 

Despite protests from several student groups, the debate by the King’s College London (KCL) Conservative Association, the largest Tory university society in the UK, went ahead last week. 

A poster of the event to discuss the motion: “That this house would reinstate the British empire” was still on show on the society’s Instagram page today.
