MMU Students are currently occupying lecture theatre 7 of the Geoffrey Manton building in solidarity with Gaza

MMU Students are currently in occupation of the Geoffrey Manton building. We are occupying the building in solidarity with the people of Gaza and to stand up to imperialism in the Middle East. We have issued a set of demands to the Vice-Chancellor (which will be posted here shortly), because we believe in delivering concrete solidarity for the people of Palestine.

Why are you occupying your place of learning? The public set up and pays for places like the university so you can learn, get a job and then pay taxes to keep the country going. The public are not that interested in the political views of what are effectively a group of older schoolchildren.

Now get back to your lessons. Hold your political activities in your own time and in rooms you hire yourself, not ones that the public pay fund for the purposes of your schooling.

Much respect to you all and good luck. I am very annoyed that i could not join you today and will hopefully join you soon.

and pete i go to man met and would gladly have every building and every room occupied in promotion of this cause. To hell with walking from a to b being told by them up stairs when i can and cant protest where i can and cant go in the end it achieves nothing. Action like this will result in the demands being met and it will result in a positive outcome.
