Abstract
After the scenes during the Queen's visit to Stirling University, those redoubtable spokesmen for the educational establishment, Lord Annan and Bill van Straubenzee, called upon NUS President Digby Jacks to speak out against the students' ‘discourtesy’. It was a clear invitation to be ‘statesmanlike’ and to play the establishment's game, and one that might have been accepted by the NUS leadership some five years ago. But, as Mr Jacks's political supporters pointed out, had he breathed a word of public criticism of the Stirling events, he would have been torn apart by his members.
