Is it me or does this article seem a bit all over the place?
>Amy Cregor was on her way to campus for a crunch-time rehearsal when she heard the antisemitic slur. The next thing she knew, her hair and clothes were covered with barbecue sauce. Then her attackers drove away.
>
>Amy had been wearing a Star of David necklace that day, which all four of her grandparents had clubbed together to buy her when she was a baby. She doesn’t wear it around her university city any more.
That is of course terrible and I feel for her. No one should have abuse, or anything else, thrown at them or have to hide their religion.
But then the article goes on to say:
>The Union of Jewish Students (UJS) says it has lost confidence in the UK’s top student activists to fight for the rights of its members like Amy – after a series of controversies at the National Union of Students (NUS).
>
>A report into claims of antisemitism within the NUS is due out in the coming weeks. The UJS hopes it will bring about change, and the NUS says it is prepared to take action.
Unless the people who attacked Amy were part of the NUS, this first part of the story seems irrelevant.

Nice to see Lowkey getting so many mentions, usually he falls off the radar a bit.
Worth checking out his [Daily Duppy](https://youtu.be/Vshed8y1DF8) for GRM Daily

On a plus side, I found out about Lowkey:

If they think the NUS has antisemitism, become part of it and change it from within.
End of the day it is effectively politics and the only way to change a political party is from within
