The Sun banned at The University of Worcester.

What a ridiculous waste of time. Have their student union got nothing better to do than have petty arguments about newspapers that "might" cause offence to somebody.

Why don't they do something productive with their time?

As if the Tab is any better.

Banning a newspaper, even if it is the Sun, is sad and a sorry reflection of this generation's new found magnet to finding offense where there is little or none.

Fantastic news, the sooner this filthy rag is taken out of circulation the better. Why any person in receipt of a university education would even want to read such an inept, feeble attempt at ''journalism'' is beyond me.

What is wrong with The Sun and what is wrong with The Tab?

The Tab deliberately tries to put a certain angle on things - twisting the truth for their own financial gain - whilst trying to maintain the visage that they're more intellectually challenging than other toilet rags like The Star. The amount of stuff they post about getting drunk/how much you eat on a nightout etc. is only enjoyable as a guilty pleasure, when the reality is its just tacky and pointless news.

The Sun is bigger and focuses on gossip columns as opposed to real news, and for feminists they're worse than Robin Thicke because they have page 3 (naked woman).

Both are rubbish imo.

True, I stick to the good old fashioned daily sport

****ing hell, if showing the naked female form is "objectification" then there's simply nothing wrong with objectification.

Of course it's "empowerment" when women look at naked men.


Ffs not a lot pisses me off but this kind of thing definitely does.

So would you say you disagree with the decision of Worcester's student union to ban The Sun?

SU's are often the bastion of overly keen left leaning students. The authoritarian streak is pretty common.

My first reaction was what kind of a university has enough circulation to bother stocking The Sun? You'd hope the students are reading something a little bit more high brow than that.

Yet both have very high readerships. The Tab has the highest readership of any student news site and The Sun is the highest selling newspaper in the UK. So both are very successful.

Success doesn't equal quality.
