I wasn't saying different, my point was that that wasn't a Birmingham Labour Students achievement, which Josh seemed to imply!

It was meant at an affectionate dig to keep them Labour lot with their feet on the ground but backfired horribly as you actually thought I was being serious. I apologise wholeheartedly.

This is it, I never know when you are, and when you are not being serious, and anyway I always find it difficult to descern sarcasm across the net.

Whether or not they have improved health care provision or if those built under PFI/PPP represent a real extension of a public health care system is another matter. BTW if anyone wants to goto a nice protest against the people who make chains and shackles for guantanamo bay, i have put info in the announcements section. Happy new year to one and all btw! I think ill go back to being a penguin now; stupid 5 post rule.

Ok but you must admit they pale into comparison with things Labour Students did like handing out them leaflets about the minimum wage and building all them new hospitals.

Labour students didn't actually build those new hospitals though did they, the government did, or rather government contractors did...

But if you're left wing but get nothing done you may as well be right wing. Least I've many left-wing achievements such as getting the hot air driers to work in Joe's gents toilets. I work for the people.

You're the one who claims I have got nothing done, not me, I am reasonably proud of my minor actions.

Thanks Julien - I disagree with the way you classify me, but I'm glad that you see I am working in an environment I dislike and trying to get the best out of it.

The University has given the Guild a LICENSE to occupy the builing but we don't have the ability to sub-let without their permission. The University's Director of Retail has a vision of campus and I think the difference is this

She might not be against The Co-op (indeed, previous conversations that Sabrina has had with her have pushed the fact that we'd prefer a Co-op bank to HSBC and The Co-op to be the retail providor on campus.

BUT I do think she'd be against any other co-op just because one is so experimental and the brand is so unknown. She wants Bham to be an attractive brand.

Let me talk to Sabrina, and get back to you. I'll think about it - I'm definitely in favour of accepting rent from a co-op than anything esle but it isn't really Resource's Committee's decision.
