in charge of campaigns for the year, it’s the amazing Ben!!

Pronouns: He/Him

Course: 2nd year Government and Political Science

Describe yourself in one word: Hot-blooded

Favourite song at the minute: Dear Mr. President by P!NK (praying on a certain somebody’s downfall rn 👀)

Role model: Bisan Owda (I wish that Bisan wasn’t my role model. She shouldn’t be famous. She should be living her life in a Free Palestine surrounded by family, friends and a thriving community. That was stolen from her as well as over 2 million innocent Gazan civilians, and we have all watched through her reporting the grisly details of this genocide as it has unfolded. Yet, despite the murders of journalists like Shireen Abu Akleh she has remained our eyes on the ground, steadfast in her determination to save her people and has demonstrated more bravery than I possess in my pinky finger. I wish she wasn’t a role model, but she should be yours.)

24/06/2024
