I don’t believe it!

OK, prepare for a rant now! After the nice woodpecker incident I am annoyed. I just went in to the my former University to get out some books for my essays, and I picked up a copy of the student paper ‘Huddersfield Student’. Not only was I mildly irritated to find how utterly rubbish it has become (the lead story is something to do with how people with ginger hair should be represented in the NUS elections more, the lay-out is awful, with several headlines not ended or with words printed twice, you can’t read some bits as the words trail off or are on too similar colour backgrounds, and so forth) but also - and this is worse - that it contained a half page advert for a lap dancing club (’only £2 with student ID!’). Only two years ago I was writing about feminism in that paper. Whilst the Union may be taking time to included ‘gingers’ in its election process it is a shame it didn’t think about the alienation women might feel on looking at a union-jack-bikini clad lap dancer, isn’t it? |
