Just a list of everything students are doing instead of going to uni during the strikes
‘Special shout out to the strikes at uni, god bless’
On day 2 of the UCU strikes at King's, the snow has discouraged many from appearing on the picket lines on campus, with turn out less than anticipated.
We took to social media to find out what people across the country are really doing instead of turning up on campus during strikes.
As always, The Tab King's is here to suggest ways to spend your newfound free time now you've got 14 days off.
Enjoying a long weekend away
Getting fit the fun way
Catching up on some quality televisual content

Reminiscing over simpler strike days
