For the second time in as many weeks Sussex university students have demonstrated their determination to drive the University Royal Navy Unit (royal navy recruitment organisation on uni campuses) into the sea.
A group of loud and angry students descended upon the mess hall of the URNU in the mantel building, boiler house hill, sussex university. 20 students arrived just as their open meeting recruitment session was due to begin chanting 'no more war' and carrying a banner which read "if recruiters told you the truth you wouldn't want to join". The group proceeded to make an almighty racket for the next hour, visibly disrupting the meeting as Royal Navy officers and security were sent to protect the sanctity of their meeting.
Eventually three car loads of police turned up to 'protect' the demonstration from any over-frisky sailors. The police were obviously singling out certain members of the group for identification...perhaps still baffled as to who the clowns were that attacked the URNU stall last week. Some members of the group were even probed by the police for information about the upcoming SMASH EDO demonstration on October 15th. No arrests occured.
This time last year, a group of students succesfully stormed their recruitment meeting leading to being physically ejected by the police and violent officers from the navy. This year they seem much more jumpy and scared of our presence; they even resorted to filming us to gather evidence.
KICK THE MILITARY OFF CAMPUS!! END IMPERIALIST WARS!!
