NAVY BLUES

Sussex Uni students have struck again against the Royal Navy recruitment unit at their University. Last week (SchNEWS 649) we reported about an attack by a group of clowns who wrecked the Navy�s recruitment stall with paint and confetti.

This week more students descended on the mess hall of the University Royal Navy Unit (OK, as no-one pointed out it a barrage of emails, we mistakainly called it UNRU last week..oops.) chanting, �No more war� carrying a banner reading, �If recruiters told you the truth you wouldn�t want to join�. For the next hour they seriously wound up the Navy officers by making as much noise as they could.

Eventually three car loads of cops turned up, but didn�t make any arrests - but did try and glean some information out of the students for last week�s attack and the upcoming Smash EDO demo.
