The Socialist Students stall outside this year’s freshers fair at De Montfort University, Leicester – demanding ‘Tories out – Corbyn in’ – got a very good response with over 30 sign-ups.
We were also using the stall to involve students with the local Save Our NHS campaign and this resonated well with many. One nursing student, who attended our follow-up meeting, told us about her own experiences as a carer under NHS cuts. She wants to get involved with the society.
Hopefully, we will soon have a Socialist Students group at the university.
