This is a genuine manifesto from UWE student elections. Amazing.
Samuel Barnard
I am a human being. I have needs, wants and interests similar to those of most other human beings. I am genuinely just like you, unless you live in a mansion with a swimming pool. Then I’m nothing like you. I want to live a fulfilled existence of social interaction with the growth of knowledge through discussion. I like a breadth of music, not all. Everyone else seems to like all music, I don’t believe them. I have an observational interest in politics but since the ConDem government it’s become clear that the public voice must be proactive and so I live up to this. I can do this, that and the other yet most of these things I can do everyone usually seems to laud as some exceptional set of skills that lend themselves to the role so I may as well just say “ditto to the person above”.
Phew! Hello lovelies, it’s been a busy day. In all my years of watching, I’ve never seen a day where so much hype was followed by so little. So, I went digging like Alan Titchmarsh in Charlie Dimmock’s backyard, and here’s what I found.

Modern students are just not following the ideals set by their forebears.
Tigerblood coming out of our ears. Seven rocks a night just isn’t enough for a bunch of mad fuckers like us.
With less than 12 hours to go until crudely hand painted banners flutter limply from the railings of Cardiff’s ugliest building, tension is high.

A good friend of FYSE; to be fair, she might have a point. Nothing would ever get done, they’d always complain whatever settlement they got. However, we’re not here to sabotage anyone.Sarah Powell has come out strongly opposing Olly Birrell’s ill-fated tyrannical leap of faith last night, saying that she is ‘proud’ of being a thorn in the side of facism.

Plato. Does he mean ‘dumber’, or ‘dressed in the most dumb costume’?Shocking reports have reached us suggesting that current Union President Olly Birrell attempted to pass a motion where he could, theoretically, waive students’ right for an election and simply declare himself president for life.
