Union president brands all student journalists ‘fucking dickheads’

London StudentJemima Hussein writes for the University of London’s London Student on an angry outburst by Queen Mary Student Union president Babs Williams:

Babs Williams, Queen Mary Students’ Union President, spewed verbal abuse towards several students observing the ULU Senate meeting on Thursday 11th October. Williams shouted threats towards Jen Izaakson, London Student Editor, threatening to continue the confrontation “outside of working hours.” The outburst came only days after he issued threats to sue the University of London Union, and following complaints of similarly intimidating behaviour at his own college union, Queen Mary.

Williams approaching the London Student journalists in the room about a previous threat to sue ULU, which he had made. Leo Stockford, a student at KCL, who witnessed events at the close of Senate, reports that Babs Williams,  called a student a “fucking moron,” before adding: “I fucking hate all student journalists, you’re all dickheads.”

Williams sent an email on 4th October, threatening to sue “ULU, the section Editor, the Editor, the journalist writing the piece and the company that manages the print run,” if London Student quoted Williams as “refusing to comment” on the issue of racist posters put up around Queen Mary.
