Sinister: **NO B&S*** STUDENT MARCHES

[Sarah]

Hey hey Sinisterines/ettes/etiennes......

See! I can do it I didn't post AT ALL to te last digest! And there were
all sorts of messages going 'why is the list so quiet'!! So i have
decided to speak up again...you lucky peanuts.

***I just thought I'd post this.....I don't know why. Perhaps to talk to
the students on here....to let people know that action is being taken
perhaps.....to make you think??**

Today Matthew, I am going to be a political demonstrator. Yes, today was
our march to County Hall against bus pass expenses, fees and the whole
education cuts. we got the paper and the radio down as well, which we
were quite pleased with.

We saw a few beaurocrats in suits, when they found their ways 'out of
meetings', but basically I have no idea if anything was achieved. I
think that most students who came just did it for the heck of it, not
because they cared about the cause.

Theres a national walkout organised by NUS (supposedly. NUS should
oppose the fees, but have been silent as a mouse till now. The Student
Council didn't organise this march. My friends in the SWSS did.) on
March the 8th, Students Unite!

Can you tell I have been  dealing in socialist soundbites all day?

I do not mean to. And no I am not in SWP or the Communists. I happen to
care about education. I think it is time that people realise it is not
only the Uni fees that are being cut, it is EDUCATION as a whole. 

The council, who stop our transport fees, so we can't PYSICALLY *GET* to
college are funded by the govt who on a national level are charging
fees. People have to start realising that. It is a part of the whole big
picture.

it is disgusting that they are not only making education into a
privilige for the wealthy (speaks a person whose parents can just about
afford fees by the way), but they are cutting it on simple levels, such
as lunch vouchers, travel expenses, textbooks, education should not be
for those who have rich mummies and daddies it should be for everyone. 

Oh this has no relevance to B&S but who cares, sorry you lot who want to
talk about Bob Dylan 'cos 'B&S have sung a song mentioning him'...yikes
tat could've been meant to sound nasty. I just mean that if *that* can
be talked about, I think am important issue like this can be as well. I
just wanted to get that out of my system.
I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!!
SarahBelle who wonders if when everyone finds out she is really a
'middle class' kid she will automatically be discredited from caring???

"Sounds off the wall I know, but consider this. If you take the complete
 musical output of a generation, the whole damn lot, then don't you have 
something? A kind of soul perhaps. The soul of a generation. I mean, it's
in there in the music. We all know it's in the music, somewhere, right. 
Anybody who's ever really listened knows it's there. Somewhere."
