The London Student has launched an attack on a Goldsmiths student after he attended The Stretch’s Halloween Club Sandwich dressed as Hitler. The article, written by editor Jen Izaakson, chose to name the student alongside a picture, a choice which Goldsmiths Students’ Union disagrees with, as a statement revealed. The statement continued, “The London Student did not contact Goldsmiths

The article accuses the student of
having a fascist agenda, yet there is no evidence to support this. The stunt could just as easily have been a puerile prank. To publicly accuse anyone of being a fascist in such a public forum without evidence put the student at the centre of a witch hunt. The student has since stated that he “in no way upholds fascist beliefs.” (Continued pg. 11)
