Dan Cooper is the acting president of the University of London student's Union. He is also an asshole.
On November 11th, this jumped up little gobshite refused to lay a wreath on behalf of his 120,000 union members because of his 'principles'. He tried to explain these principles, and particularly his thoughts on the sacrifices of the Great War, but he just came over sounding like a confused and disrespectful little prick who doesn't quite get it. A sort of a juvenile Eric Hogsbawm. I simply cannot be bothered repeating his offensive and infantile words here.
As one who has personally experienced active service, and whose great-grandfather died on the Somme in 1916, I have strong thoughts about the importance of remembrance. There is a Facebook page - Dan Cooper Must resign - which I would urge you to support. To their credit, the students at the University of London have turned on Cooper, and his days seem to be numbered.
I strongly suspect that Mr Cooper ticks all the right boxes in some quarters, and that he will turn up as a New Labour MP in the not too distant future!
Tosser.
