The University of Edinburgh student union event on Sunday was interrupted by racist slurs, the chanting of homophobic slogans, and pornography.

About 50 people were given a link to join but it was not password protected. One guest speaker was reduced to tears.

The university said it regarded “any incident of discrimination as a serious matter”. Zoom said it was “deeply upset” and had begun an investigation.
