Park Life 71 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) I always thought student unions were were ultra-pc gone mad. What with many and their 'affiliations' to various revolutions around the world and long speeches for Africa etc. "'Zionist' has become a word of opprobrium - all Jews are so labelled - and attacks on Jews rose with the occurrence of the Lebanon war - attacks on Jews in this country and elsewhere, not attacks on Israeli buildings," Lady Deech told peers. She added: "Once the equation is made between Zionism and Jews, anti-semites then feel free to attack all Jewish students without distinction. Protests start as attacks on Israel and conclude with threats to all Jews." http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/new...2101283,00.html Edited June 13, 2007 by Parky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen's SU in Belfast is called Mandela Hall as well. The Manchester SU is also called the Steve Biko building, nothing like a bit of originality.
