A Royal Navy recruiting team at Sussex Uni Fresher's Fair were left sunk without trace after a devastating broadside from a gang of clowns.

On finding out that the University Navy Recruitment Unit (UNRU) were planning to press-gang a crew of impressionable first years, several students clowned up and, shouting 'No More Wars' through a megaphone, marched up to the stall and bombarded it with paint and confetti.

One of the clowns told SchNews, "UNRU are an essential part of militarising society, our university is a place of education not war games."

According to one (probably) guilty bystander, several members of the crowd proceeded to challenge the stall on their role in militarising society and making this governments wars of imperialism possible.
