I'm sorry but if the general sentiment so far is that the statement was in bad taste and did more harm than good then there is this arsehole coming in and defending it and calling us all pillocks for disagreeing with the statements, something is off.
The actions of a few have ruined the NUSC already in the eyes of some. Instead of outright dismissing our concerns because it doesn't match some jackasses's grandiose vision, maybe they should spend more time listening.
