Students very interested, wanting to discuss what happened last month. Many were very clear about how important it is to confront the fascists, and to bring people with them on 26 Oct. A student took a poster to put on his front door and wants to circulate details to other students. Staff very supportive – two staff agreed to forward SUTR’s model motion to trade union reps at the college.
Four sheets of students’ (and some staff) contact details collected to keep in touch with them, and with each other, in the month up to 26th October Stop Tommy Robinson protest.
