People’s champion George Robb delivers final ultimatum to uni chiefs

Thousands united in call for protest

It was a day that will surely go down in history.

Moses delivered his Ten Commandments in Biblical times. Hammurabi enacted his code in 1754 BC.

The great emperor Justinian I gave the world his Corpus Juris Civilis in AD 529.

An epoch-shaping Declaration of Independence was delivered by the 13 American colonies on July 4th 1776.

The next George Washington?

Yesterday George Robb met with Professor Judith Squires, the Pro Vice-Chancellor Education and Students, to discuss the nitty-gritty details of university funding.

Whatever went down at the meeting, judging from George’s public statements it doesn’t seem as if reasoned argument and empirical data will make a huge amount of difference to his desire to go all-out Russell Brand next Friday:

Remember even if you're 'proven' wrong, you're not actually wrong. Ok?

Remember even if you’re ‘proven’ wrong, you’re not actually wrong. Ok?

George has been told he’ll have to wait until Monday or Tuesday next week for a response from the uni. Until then, a city holds its breath.
