Haven't you been paying attention? Everyone knows that all the good things that happen in Scotland are due to Salmond and Co and every problem and bump in the road is the fault of the UK Government. That's the SNP's main policy platform! If contingency funding isn't granted no doubt when it comes to...

I should have said SBNP. Anyhow, as far as I'm aware the SBNP has no paticular membership requirement. Certainly not any moreso than the political societies currently affiliated. One could argue that they have a de-facto membership requirement of being young white, and tatooed with at least one swa...

The only way I can see that a system like this would be useful is if upon collection of the wristband your name was checked off a list and the band was actually put on you. That way at least it would prevent forgeries. However that won't work this time around as many people aren't going to be able t...

I called the General Office and the ticket exchange is indeed today and tomorrow between 12-4pm at the main bar. You can give someone else your ticket and get them to swap it for you. In the event you aren't able to exchange your ticket today or tomorrow there will be a "contingency plan" ...

I didn't get an email either, unless I missed it. I've been checking http://www.yourunion.net/gradball2009 but no info up as of yet re exchange. Since the exchange appears to be taking place tomorrow and Thursday at a specific time and place maybe it's worth someone checking if there has been some p...

My desire to join the KK is about zero, perhaps even negative. While women should have equal rights regarding jobs, wages and the ability to participate in government, I really don't see the need to instill equality in a historic gentleman's club. Honestly, why does Dr. Richardson feel that women w...

Louis richarson needs to do some work. Georgina so do you. The kk propably doesnt care. neither does anyone else. You annoy me. Wow when did this get so nasty? I know that responding to outbursts from the unregistered users (and I’m guessing they have all been made by the same person) is probably s...

time again wrote:Do you really think the kk boys are sexist? They are not. They really are not. Its so silly.

No. Their membership policy is, by the very definition of the word, sexist.

I suggest reading and, you know, actually comprehending what people are saying would be a good way forward for you.

I have just set up a Facebook group on the against side: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=68421887146 I am aware that the write-up is pretty crap - please post suggestions of how it might be improved / any additions! James Reading through it the phrase "clutching at straws" springs t...

I didn't say you said that - it was a question, hence the question mark. As I said, I believe it is an excuse, and that what you call a "bonus" is probably what was actually wanted. Well I would have to respectively disagree. I don't think it was an excuse and I would be interested to kno...

Is the exclusion of women just an excuse then? I believe so, which offends me far more than the KK being male-exclusive does. What? Where did I say that? Exclusion of women is by itself enough of a reason to cut ties with the KK. The fact people seem to disagree with that is troubling. The fact we ...

So the reason the KK is to be "dis-affiliated" is because they exclude women, but both Georgina and Andrew have now argued that this move will stop St Andrews as being seen as a "posh elitist", "snobbish" place. Once again I wonder whether the real point here is a gend...

Can't quite believe I'm about to point this out, but people are saying that the KK get special priviledges over and above other student groups or societies and I am asking what these are. My problem with the KK is that they get any kind of privilege at all from the University, special or otherwise.

That’s missing the point. Hundreds of other student groups are entitled to use University property and facilities for their events. Therefore the arrangements the university had with the KK were not unique or preferential. Speaking once again from experience: the KK do not receive the same room hir...

It's like some bizarre alternate reality in here. Let me try to drag some of you back to the land of the living by reminding us of the basic points - the KK are a social group that has a sexist membership policy. This goes against the University's (and, unlike some of us here that seem to think we'r...

I'm ambivalent in regards to the Kate Kennedy Club, but this is the wrong way to go about promoting equality and reducing our elitist image. If the telegraph is to be believed the KKC will no longer be permitted to use University property for their wicked ways, but what about other single-sex socie...

Washing out dirty linen in public eh? I am beginning to despise this Principal more and more, not only for her limp liberal ways but also for her lack of imagination and blatant appeal to nonsensical populist mores. She may believe, to her own self-regarding credit, that she is some kind of crusade...

Intelligence, like sex, may also not be something that people have control over, why is it any less of a crime than gender discrimination? Don't be silly, selecting people on the basis of academic ability is not discrimination in the sense we are referring to. Studying for a degree here requires a ...

Andrew, again I find myself at a loss to understand what you're arguing. One minute all all-male clubs are bad and there should be no exclusivity; the next it only matters if it's getting special treatment. Which is it? The second, I largely agree with, which is why I'm surprised that the statement...

That's the second time on this thread that you've claimed a large number of people agreed with your opinion. Would you care to cite a source? I'm serious; people object to all-male organisations because they think women oughtn't to be excluded, but the degree to which they could give a toss is gene...
