/// An influential students' group has called for prisons to be abolished because they are 'sexist and racist' in the latest in a series of far-Left interventions by the student movement. ///

That measure will go a long way in increasing their membership numbers, at least.

Ah, and the The National Union of Students 'BLACK' students' conference have the audacity to mention the word 'racist'.

Students like to shock. It's an age related think. Old enough to have the nerve, young enough to pass it off later as the folly of youth. Just humour them, smile and nod, then go on as if it never happened.

like I typed !
Students doing what students do.......


Mad as the proverbial box of frogs imo.

Well this is what the NUS women's conference came up with, still waiting to hear what the NUS Men's and the NUS white conferences come up with.

Maybe a long wait.

/// Last month the NUS women's conference passed a similar resolution, titled 'Prison Abolition is a Feminist Issue', which called for 'community and transformative justice' to replace incarceration. ///


They'll grow out of it.
Don't bank on it Mamya!

Wonder how many smoke weed? Addles the brains and all that...
There is one major flaw in the argument that prison cannot be an available sanction: all other forms of penalty, including "community and transformative justice" require the co-operation of the criminal. Everything from Conditional Discharges, through fines and community orders (which I suppose what is imagined when "community and transformative justice" is mentioned) requires those sentenced to comply with the penalty. People fined must pay their dues; those sentenced to a community order must turn up when and where they are directed. So what happens when they refuse to comply with their "community and transformative justice" sentence. Do the authorities say "OK then. We've nothing else available with which to punish you, so we'll call it a day"? Or do they do something else? And if so, what exactly, since all the prisons have been closed?
No Ag, I wasn't banking on it - students are forever coming out with such, was ever so.


I don't know the percentage who smoke weed or how it may be higher or lower than students of years gone by.
/// So what happens when they refuse to comply with their "community and transformative justice" sentence. ///

Ah, they'll give them an even tougher "community and transformative justice" sentence, Judge. ;o)
Sounds like the next set of useless Labour party candidates.
Tsk tsk
The leader is not a student. She is a Marxist Activist.

Usual drivel from the Left. And of course they can be as racist as they lie whilst accusing everyone else of being.

This idiot woman has put back womans gains by decades.

>And even worse tomorrow's teachers.

Er, thanks.

I bet quite a few ABers were pretty radical in their student days.

>Wonder how many smoke weed? Addles the brains and all that.
I am pretty sure that some on here smoked weed as students
//The vote called for anyone detained under the Mental Health Act to be handed over into NHS care, but was silent on what should happen to other convicted criminals.//

That says it all really. Idiots!

FF > I am pretty sure that some on here smoked weed as students.

Which might explain some of the posts!!
Perhaps, perhaps. But I recall one very sensible poster on here has mentioned smoking it many years ago.
