It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

World Kindness Day may have passed you by. But it won't have passed by your children, whose school will have been sure to teach that climate action and open borders are essential elements of 'kindness', says Steven Tucker.

Left win SU elections in UCC

category cork | politics / elections | news report author Saturday March 20, 2004 14:07author by Mary Report this post to the editors

The student union elections in UCC saw a victory for the left as Frank Milling was elected president on the first count.

With 72% of the vote Frank Milling was elected in a landslide victory. Frank ran on a ticket of a strong students union not afraid to take on the college authorities to fight cutbacks. Frank had previously been involved in the sucessful campaign to stay in the national union USI.

Nonetheless the campaign pointed out that USI was drastically in need of reform and was out of touch with the members on the ground. Frank also ran on bringing the UCC students union back to the students and building the union from the grassroots up.

It is the first time in several years that a left winger has been elected as president of UCC student's union.
