And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.

The "F U" is served by being humane, responsible, and playing the long game. His and his country's detractors are damned by the contrast, and everyone will see this.
