«Breaking News» Angry protestors clash with police outside Oxford Union as ex-Trump strategist Steve Bannon speaks

Former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon sparked furious protests at the Oxford Union tonight as he compared the KKK to Black Lives Matter.

While Bannon spoke inside the hallowed union halls, they chanted: 'The police protect the Nazis!', 'Say it loud, say it clear, Bannon is not welcome here!'.

It became violent as 300 outraged protestors gathered in the narrow streets surrounding the historic union building.

They surrounded the police cordon and body-slammed into officers protecting the entrances.

Steve Bannon - Donald Trump's former chief strategist - is viewed by some as a Machiavellian figure and the mastermind behind Trump's campaign strategy in the 2016 Presidential election

Bannon told the audience 'Nazis and the KKK have no place in our society, they should have never been allowed to march in Charlottesville'

The former White House Chief Strategist has faced accusations of stirring up racial tensions.

He is seen by some as the Machiavellian mastermind behind President Trump's highly controversial and successful Presidential campaigning.  

Bannon told the union audience: 'Nazis and the KKK have no place in our society, they should have never been allowed to march in Charlottesville.

'The same can be said about Antifa and Black Lives Matter - they shouldn't be allowed to do what they are doing.' 

He said of former NBC host: 'I said I wanna unchain the dogs on Megyn Kelly and I'm proud of it - politics is war by other methods.'

He also defended the travel ban enacted by the Trump administration, saying: 'I did the original travel ban, it made our citizens safer. Zero-tolerance at the border is a humanitarian policy.'

Bannon is touring Europe as he promotes a new Brussels-based pressure group called The Movement. 

Michael, 20, a history student, said: 'I really dislike this pattern in the union of people who are chosen to give a platform - because they had Alice Weidel from the AfD (Alternative for Germany) and Tommy Robinson.

'It gives a platform and legitimises the worst kind of political force.

'I particularly object to how the YouTube channel broadcast this to a far bigger audience than at the Oxford Union.'

The Oxford Union is a debating society which dates back to 1823 with a long tradition of promoting freedom of speech, but some recent guests have infuriated students.

Maritz, aged 26 years, an Austrian student studying politics in Oxford said: 'I'm here to protest against the Student Union events being used for right-wing personalities. I am Austrian and we already have a fascist government so it's important to fight right-wing politics while we still can.' 

An Oxford student holds a sign which says 'You shall not pasaran,' which blends Gandalf's well-known phrase, with the famous communist speech by Dolores Ibárruri Gómez during the Siege of Madrid by Generalísimo Francisco Franco's fascist forces in 1936

Over 300 protesters were pressed against the railings of the union, one can be seen holding a 'BLACK LIVES MATTER' sign 

Nick Grant, 65, a member of the Socialist Worker Party said: 'We are socialists who oppose Steve Bannon quite fundamentally. He is someone who is trying to organize internationally for right-wing political forces which oppose migrants, women, sexual minorities and organised workers.

'We believe he is a neo-Facist who historically big business organisations turn to at a time of economic crisis.' 

There were no arrests by police, despite the protest turning ugly, with shouts of, 'Who killed Mark Duggan? The police killed Mark Duggan!'

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: 'Officers are on the scene of a protest in Oxford.

Bannon was delayed by over an hour as the protest turned ugly and the police officers were accused of defending a Nazi

'We were aware of planned protest activity around the Oxford Union in St Michael's Street. Officers are currently in the area working to prevent any incidents of crime and disorder.'

Bannon was delayed in leaving the Oxford Union afterwards by more than an hour as police tried to quell the tempers of the protestors so he could pass safely. 

He was greeted in similar style in Edinburgh just days ago as he attended an international media event hosted by the BBC.

Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, withdrew from the event when she learned that Bannon would be one of the main speakers.

'These are not racist views,' he said in Scotland's capital. 'In fact populist nationalism, which I've been working on for nine or 10 years, is the exact opposite.'

Bannon claimed his brand of nationalism was 'catching fire around the world.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
