I also want to respond to George Wood’s recent blog http://www.officeronline.co.uk/blogs/samlebens/274139.aspx It’s been a hard few weeks. Lots to do as always... http://www.officeronline.co.uk/blogs/samlebens/273565.aspx National RAG week’s still looking good. It looks as if 15 unions are finally going to run it on their campus. I really hope we raise a lot of money, but more than that, I hope we raise a lot of awareness. http://www.officeronline.co.uk/blogs/samlebens/273279.aspx At the last NEC meeting, a clear and balanced motion was passed almost unanimously about the conflict in Lebanon. I want to be very clear: Nobody opposed the notion of an immediate ceasefire. http://www.officeronline.co.uk/blogs/samlebens/272845.aspx I was elected to the NUS NEC on a platform of supporting your unions' RAG work. To this end, we are in the process of planning a really exciting national RAG week. http://www.officeronline.co.uk/blogs/samlebens/272844.aspx One of the highlights of the past few months (after finishing my undergraduate degree) was going on a trip to Southern Africa with ACTSA, which used to be the anti-apartheid movement. http://www.officeronline.co.uk/blogs/samlebens/272750.aspx
