Yeah, maybe 50 students in a lecture theatre isn't going to change the world, but we did something and I hope that people in Palestine who heard about our and other University occupations found some comfort in the fact that people genuinely care about the atrocities that are happening right now in Gaza.<BR/>As Desmond Tutu said: “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” So I'm glad I was part of the occupation and that I stood up for injustice rather than sitting at home blogging!Occupiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-10316473877874744162009-02-26T05:25:00.000Z2009-02-26T05:25:00.000ZAgree with you, but you have to admit that you sound a bit like Mr Suburb...Matt Wardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326720801362744582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-86047332806910116712009-02-25T22:47:00.000Z2009-02-25T22:47:00.000Z<A HREF="https://www.tomgormless.blogspot.com/html/codes" REL="nofollow">You'll like this tb.</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-51885288004354734292009-02-24T22:36:00.000Z2009-02-24T22:36:00.000ZDoes this mean TB is abandoning anonymity?Tom FDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-15589528425666675512009-02-24T13:09:00.000Z2009-02-24T13:09:00.000ZMatt McLeod,<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry. I was in a snarky mood for reasons completely unrelated to politics or the blogosphere, and was being completely unfair and rude.<BR/><BR/>Had I been aware that you were volunteers (not that such a consideration stops my readers being snarky) I like to think I would have been less uncharitable.<BR/><BR/>Sincere apologies.<BR/><BR/>MORUSMorushttps://politicalbetting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-40326539712457924172009-02-24T12:39:00.000Z2009-02-24T12:39:00.000ZHi Morus, <BR/><BR/>Due to our frantic scrabbling to put the paper to press we haven't yet had the chance to fix it on the website, but the error was picked up and corrected in print, and is now fixed on the site too.<BR/><BR/>If you'd like to help us catch these errors earlier, you're more than welcome to drop in and help out... As you're aware, we're all volunteers and unfortunately these things sometimes slip through.<BR/><BR/>-MattMatt MacLeodhttps://www.journal-online.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-29351548878449483992009-02-24T12:31:00.000Z2009-02-24T12:31:00.000Z"George Square Occupation: PHYRRIC Victory?"<BR/><BR/>Excuse me? 'Phyrric'? They don't by any chance mean 'Pyrrhic', do they? The term relating to the Pyrrhic War, won at great cost to the victor (and thus making the headline guilty only of laughabe hyperbole, rather than editorial laziness whilst on grammar safari)? Could that be what was meant?<BR/><BR/>Not having obvious spelling errors in your headlines used to be the sort of standard too low to be formally acknowledged on our student newspapers. Maybe that's why Nouse and Vision (York) were award-winning, and the Journal is going broke.<BR/><BR/>Shrinking newspaper budgets are no excuse for lack of a dictionary in the editor's office. It's called a false-economy. <BR/><BR/>If these people had the incessant readership feedback loop that bloggers have to endure/enjoy, they wouldn't be quite so lax, I suspect.<BR/><BR/>Heavens above.Morushttps://politicalbetting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-52064187445592206972009-02-24T10:06:00.000Z2009-02-24T10:06:00.000ZI've applied for a number of London unis this year and I can't help wondering, head in hands, what I've gotten myself in for!<BR/><BR/>I suppose ridicule and 'lefty-baiting' is the only rational recourse when confronted with such poor, deluded and heart-breakingly well-off souls.
