Of course Hain's fellow traveller Straw was NUS president at the time when we had all that student unrest in the early 1970s.....
Pretty awful! Bit of an understatement there!
Its all about ethics don't you know,such as in where money is invested,wether or not people are discriminated against.You see they could'nt demonstrate on the streets of Soweto,the police were in the habit of shooting people dead.
Believe Hain had some first hand knowledge as he was educated in South Africa.
