Inanimate Objects Show Solidarity With UCL Strikers

Anonymous

In step with UCL’s time-honoured and illustrious tradition of Disruptive Thinking TM, we may proudly report a 10/10 solidarity rating was won by our Edge Overlords at the Bartlett, for their innovation in supporting the strike.

The MA Situated Practice exhibi- tion, which had been scheduled to open during the strike’s second week, covered up. Yes, the inanimate objects came out in force, sweating and quiv- ering in anticipation of liberty beneath their black cloths. The walls, one can only imagine, grinned with nervous glee behind their occluding layers of sugar paper. How sad they would have been, despite the swathes of smoking students being indistinguishable from the picket line (#smokefreeUCL), to see so many architects entering the building regardless...

Across campus abstract concepts have also followed suit, with solidarity strikes now affecting both their flavour and structural integrity in Students’ Union pizzas.
