Perhaps on it's own the sentence could be ambiguous. In the context of an article about a drinking club at Oxford University, it isn't.
The fact that you've misread something isn't evidence of ambiguity. It is evidence of something else though.

But you're the one who has misread it. So whatever this evidence is, it's evidence against YOU

Oh just let something go for once in your life would you? I'm entitled to read something and come to my own conclusions about it.

So many particulars. So many questions.
isn't this oxford union who invited\assange to speak by video link? invited Le Pen to speak in person.

But I haven't misread it, you have. I know you like shouting about things Frank, but why not shout about real things? There's no need to go looking for stuff that isn't really there.
Or maybe you misread it.
Maybe it's ambiguous, maybe you're being a bit of a dick telling other people that their interpretation of something is wrong. Maybe a lot of things.

nice to see pedantry alive and well on urban
there isn't another hand, except in your head.

On the other hand, perhaps you have no right to tell someone how to read a sentence. Perhaps you're not in charge around here after all. Perhaps you're just a cunt.

Seems to me it wasn't, but I daresay I'm wrong about that as well.

'elite university drinking club' is ambiguous. As everybody already knows that Oxford is an elite university, the use of 'elite' relating to the university is superfluous and it could easily be referring to the drinking club. Badly written.

This is where the readers brain comes into it. Or should.

It's not bad writing, it's nuance. The angry man told me.
