From the Manchester University occupation
On this blog NUS were cited by the Nottingham Evening News as calling on students to end sit-ins a week ago:
Correct us if we are wrong but has anybody ever heard an NUS president say:
The Manchester Uni occupation applauds Wes for this sentiment. We would be very happy if he came over to address our occupation on the importance of building a fighting student movement for Palestine as well as using his position to push the NUS to put pressure on our Vice-Chancellor Alan Gilbert to concede to our demands, send a letter to our union’s Gen Sec Rob Pinfold congratulating us for our actions as well as Labour Students in Manchester who have been hostile to us. We would also be very happy if the NUS pledged to campaign to defend occupying students against any reprisals from management.
Get cracking Wes!
On this blog NUS were cited by the Nottingham Evening News as calling on students to end sit-ins a week ago:
They have held their protest and made their point, and have in fact continued the occupation despite calls by the National Union of Students for all such campus protests to endNUS President, and Labour student, Wes Streeting is feeling the pressure. Manchester Uni are holding him to his word(s) in today's Independent on Sunday and have invited him to come and address the occupation.
Correct us if we are wrong but has anybody ever heard an NUS president say:
"It’s a long time since we’ve seen student occupations on such a scale. It’s about time we got the student movement going again and had an impact."
