Obviously the Tory toad doesn’t think that Mandela is a terrorist or he wouldn’t have tried to suppress reporting of his own comments.
This has to be seen in the light of other OUCA activities. Back in the day they used to spend their time cheering Pinochet, Marcos and the Nicaraguan Contras. Support for right-wing terrorism is pretty much the norm among OUCA members.
Every couple of decades or so, Central office gets fed up with the young hooligans and bans the college youth movement completely. The old Federation of Conservative Students was liquidated after they started running a Stasi-esque ‘enemies list’ which was sold to employers and accused former Prime Minister Macmillan of being a war criminal.
Oh and I think I remember that they hold committee elections every term so that as many members as possible can get ‘OUCA chairman’ on their CV which makes it fairly easy to get selected as an MP but I might be mistaken there.
