)
I was at Sussex Uni, and several (a majority, as perceived at the time, though this could be wrong ) of the NUS Officers therefrom (is that a word, or am I being doubly oxymoronic 
) featured in the media with scarves around the lower areas of their faces (they were easily recognised nonetheless 
)...
Arguably not good days from a political viewpoint, with big dollops of added hindsight
- but when one of the main players (an NUS committee member) has the middle name "Thor" you can be assured that the job is f
d until the next election - regardless

A U.K. student feminism conference is asking attendees to refrain from clapping and use “jazz hands” instead so as to not trigger anxiety in others.
The National Union of Students (NUS) Women’s Campaign announced the clapping “ban” at the West Midlands conference on Twitter Tuesday, shortly after receiving a request from the Oxford University Women’s Campaign.
“@nuswomcam please can we ask people to stop clapping but do feminist jazz hands? it’s triggering some peoples’ anxiety. thank you!” Oxford representatives wrote.

in the argot of US students 'LUG' means lesbian until graduation
in the UK it means 'leftie until graduation'
the way the NUS conducts itself is one of the biggest adverts for raising the voting age back to 21 rather than lowering it to 16 as the left desire in their endless quest to buy votes ( having been brought up on such by the folklore of the Labour party and the trades union movement )

I find it funny when the NUS quote their membership numbers when "justifying" their views.
I would say the vast majority of students (and I was in this pot when at uni) join the NUS for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to get into the student union bars.
