NUS facing bankruptcy.

That bastion of Social Justice, political activism and Youth Wing of the Corbyn Party, the NUS, has run out of money. They're now implementing emergency austerity measures.

This is different to the government's austerity measures, which they have been endlessly critical about, because the NUS's austerity measures are the result of not having any money and being in debt. Whereas the UK government has infinite money and no debt.

The NUS is a pioneer of such measures as banning gay men from being LGBT group leaders for not being oppressed enough, hiring Carter Ruck to protect Trans members who flashed their penis at people on a train and pushing Identity Politics at every single conceivable opportunity.

As per usual with the Left Wing, they ran out of other people's money.

Lefties, SJW's, Corbynista's, Mao, Stalin, I get that the point of these threads is to partake in an anti-liberal orgy but can we focus on what actually matters please? Does this mean I won't get my free cheeseburger from McDonalds anymore? Honestly, I'm the only one who has my priorities straight in this place.

Taking your serious reply, seriously, it's only the National Union of Students. A local Students Union can actually decline to join it (and occasionally do), in which case they're free to negotiate their own discounts for things like beer, burgers and other student necessities. Sometimes at a better discount than the NUS appears to manage.

I think this deserves a standing ovation nice round of jazz hands.

What you did there, I see it!

Only if you like circle-jerks

You're familiar with NUS meetings, then?

Get woke, go broke

Referring to when an SJW agenda is pushed and sales collapse?

Didn't jazz originate from black culture? So this is basically cultural appropriation 101...

A fusion of imported African music with European instrumentation and harmonics. So basically the ultimate abomination of cultural appropriation all round!

I'm assuming they went bankrupt hiring all those purple haired social studies students who couldn't use their "degrees" to get actual jobs outside of teaching social studies

Well there's the mystery of Jess Bradley, trans officer for the NUS, who was waving his dick around in public and, after some pressure, was finally suspended (on full pay) and mysteriously was able to pay for Carter Ruck (lawyers to the stars) to defend himself. It's been something of a mystery who's bankrolling that, but NUS have been one of the prime suspects. They've declined to comment (frequently).

^WHAT THE **** IS THAT^

"That", according to the trans lobby (and you can be fired for saying otherwise), is a woman.

the opening bias in this thread....

Oh yes, a great deal of it, front and centre!

 

[h4rm0ny]

Hang on, there are suspicions that the NUS funded their legal defence in a case against the NUS?

It wouldn't surprise me, but no. The NUS opened investigations after continuous calls chivvied them into it. Bradley instructed Carter Ruck to go after anyone covering the story and try to bring libel suits. I did say "defence". I was wrong, I'd become hazy on the details. The investigation is "ongoing" and shows no sign of being anything other than a means to placate people until they forget about it (or graduate). Carter Ruck was hired to go after the papers (which is their specialist area).

Sorry, my bad.

Good spot guys.... Right you are

Southampton students opt out of NUS

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2002/may/22/highereducation.students

It appears they realised early on that the NUS were no good

So what is the possibility that the regional unions pull out in great numbers?

And if they do, any issues with them starting up a new and different national body?

They aren't liberals. Just a different kind of authoritarian.

Well yes. But in North America that political faction has named itself Liberals. They're very big on freedom of lifestyle. Not so big on freedom of speech or thought or education.

Imagine waking up next to that after a drunken night out

If I woke up to that after a night out, I guarantee my pee would test positive for rohypnol.

And given what we know of his sexual proclivities, I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyway back on topic - I am absolutely baffled as to why anyone gets any joy from the NUS struggling ??? Can someone explain to me why this is a good thing ? - factually I can't see it being good, but if it emotionally satisfies people, then a human who gets joy from others suffering had probably best seek psychiatric help.

I started this thread so I'd better respond to that. It's because the NUS seems very far from being a body that actually represents students (which is what it is meant to be) and seems more a body that hoovers up money to transmute it into pushing political agendas such as banning newspapers they don't like from university shops, indoctrinating people with Identity Politics at every opportunity and generally being a hive of hard left, Marxist political agitation. Oh, and also doing everything they can to take away our toilets. Right from my first post I nailed my flag in the ground as being someone who did not like the NUS. I'm unapologetic on that. I expect that you come to this with the view of the NUS as a body representing students and are, as you say, baffled why there's a degree of schadenfreude going on here. It's because they're not a body representing students and haven't been for quite some time.

Caveat: I'm sure they must have done something good for students this past year. Other than free burgers, I mean. I'm not convinced whatever it was wouldn't have been done equally well or better by the local student union.

Well see my post above your response for a general 'POV' on the NUS. To address your points.

The NUS represents students ? So what your seeing as political agenda could also be explained as - representing the views of students - frankly I do not know ANY one in ANY university to vote FOR brexit.

So if they are waving that flag - then ALL students want them to - there has never been a more united youth in living memory.

And I'm actually glad they are banning news papers (if this is true) - good - because its vile and obvious propaganda - 'news' papers, especially the usual right **** rags, are, mind numbingly hilariously ridiculous these days - the same thing happened pre war in Germany - just bonkers 'reporting' - perhaps they are being 'ott' progressive, but the nation would benefit if laws came in that banned pure lies and nationalistic campaigning from news sources - if they were forced to print verifiable truth, the 'news' would be very different.

You have to remember todays 16-25 year olds will inherent a right mess of a planet from the likes of people like May, her pals, and their age range - and if they can start working now to make the world a better place - then all power to them - sure you don't agree apparently with their politics - but factually, their ethos benefits the many, it is obviously the antidote to the torys.

If the elder generation are hell bent on ruining peoples lives en-mass - then be not surprised when they fight back for what they believe in.

Its obvious I believe in a humanity where we help each other, so of course I see more easily why they are being that way.

I'm just going to leave your entire post above as a counter-argument to itself.
