Why don't we use it?<BR/><BR/>Tom Stubbs makes noise on behalf of the Lib Dems but our rep on the block almost never turns up to NEC meetings or other NUS events; he was notably absent from Extraordinary Conference early this month.<BR/><BR/>Just like a computer; if you put rubbish in, you get rubbish out. Lets put something into NUS; you might be surprised what we get out!JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393990015279809953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-41209372064315857272008-11-20T16:15:00.000Z2008-11-20T16:15:00.000ZCome back Forward Together, all is forgiven!Come back Forward Together, all is forgiven!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-63070019849538732252008-11-20T15:10:00.000Z2008-11-20T15:10:00.000ZEvery meeting organising an NUS campaign is one th...Every meeting organising an NUS campaign is one that could have been spent organising a CF campaign day to a marginal. It shows bizarre priorities to say CF should use time, effort and resources so irresponsibly.<BR/><BR/>Can someone also explain what the Conservative Party actually gains even if it did well in an NUS election?

I love the NUS, it takes a huge number of left wing students and puts them into an organisation that does very little. If these misguided people were not fighting for 'students' they would be out campaigning for Labour or the communists. Far better to leave them to their playground politics and get on with the real battle, a Conservative government and Conservative local councils.Richard Hollowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01496289874547803218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-17702731959592183672008-11-20T00:54:00.000Z2008-11-20T00:54:00.000ZLeave Andy's pefect spelling alone pls.<br><br>I t...Leave Andy's pefect spelling alone pls.<BR/><BR/>I think Donal's (as ever rather rambling and self-important) point is probably true.
