The journalist here is guilty of having failed to research her material adequately. UCS is a fantastically inclusive school where pupils of differing ethnic, socio-economic and religious groups all get on in perfect harmony. Rather, the outcome of the "election" shows the susceptibility of the electorate to bribery. The BNP candidate offered a bribe of a cookie to pupils voting for him and the bribe was readily accepted by some younger pupils. In fact, the LibDem candidate won by a huge margin. Never let the facts get in the way of polemic!
