A Polite But Misdirected Rant

'The problem with silence is that we know exactly what it will be like.'
Hanif Kureishi

This post isn't directly realted to my role but I do want to talk a bit about our current methods of student representation. Someone asked tonight about how we reflect diversity on campus in the Guild and I feel that there was more to say on that topic. We could have spoken about our liberation campaigns and what they've achieved, we could have discussed safe-space and 'no platform' policies that allow for minorities to be both included and defended. We could have spoken about mini-forums that talk to faith groups and representation groups within our Guild.
These are things that we have the capability to do really well, we should be proud of them.
