Fresh controversy is about to erupt in the ULSU sabbatical elections as this blog can exclusively reveal that Education candidate Paddy Rockett used ULSU funds to purchase a fur coat and a crown.
The offending items were purchased online using the SU's credit card at a website called Royal-Viking-Apparel.com. Those in the know have long been aware of Rockett's obsession with acting and dressing like his childhood hero, King Harald Hardrada, an 11th century king of Norway. But this recent act of wanton embezzlement takes Rockett's regal fantasies to new heights, as he now appears bent on parading around campus wearing the coat and crown and carrying a traditional Viking axe.
None of this, however, should worry the voters of UL since recent historical evidence suggests that King Harald was both an able administrator and accomplished soldier, whose only major failing was a tendency to mount costly invasions of neighbouring territories (UCC beware).
The Rockett campaign has responded to the allegations with the following statement: "Everyone knows that money would only have been pissed away on unsustainable services and pointless sabbatical wages anyway, so who cares? Long live King Rockett!"
Following some rather hasty shooting noises at the other end of the phone, the campaign issued another statement: "Paddy Rockett shares your opinion. He has always shared your opinion, even when it looked like he belonged to a group of people who seemed to have completely different opinions to yours. He never agreed with those people. Paddy Rockett always shared your opinion. Vote Paddy Rockett!"
