London Tuition Fees Demonstration (09/12/2010) Part 1: Before Parlaiment Square.
Here starts my coverage of events as I witnessed them yesterday. Because what happened at Parlaiment Square turned to be such a turning point in the demo, I have decided to divide this report into two sections, with this first section covering what happened before we reached Parlaiment Square.

Today in Cambridge, both of the local Cathederals of Consumerism were invaded by several generations of angry students, fighting for a future that doesn't involve getting themselves into vast amounts of debt.

As you will have seen elsewhere it's been another packed day for activism in Cambridge, with today seeing the occupation of Old Schools Combination Room.
However, what a rather dry (albeit accurate) press release can't do quite as well is convey an idea of what it was like to be there witnessing history being made.
Hopefully my photos will go some way towards doing this.
Cambridge student occupation comes to an end.

It's been a very busy day for activists here in Cambridge, as the student collective who have now been occupying a room in Cambridge University's Old Schools building decided to escalate things and take their fight against the proposed exorbitant rise in University Tuition Fees to the next level, in response to the wall of silence from University management.

I have a story to tell.
It is a tale of two opposing, elemental forces, one of a ruling elite who thinks they know what is best for their subjects, and then there is a select few of their 'subjects', who have other ideas about what is best for them.
What I saw yesterday in Cambridge was the overwhelmingly creative, but also angry response to the decisions that the ruling elite are currently making.

While the university occupation is still going on, school and university students took the streets today to protest increasing fees and cuts to education and all services. Highlights included the invasion of the Cambridge business school lawn (The Judge Institute), a demo through the central shopping centre (where a few weeks ago the vodaphone protest took place), and finally the invasion of the senate house lawn that is in front of the University occupation. A smaller group of people also went to the Guildhall (town hall) which is controlled by the libdems.

Today in Cambridge, on November 24th, 2010 the ante was well and truly upped by several hundred very angry and frustrated students, when not only did they take to the streets in protest against the ConDem'med government's plan to raise tuition fees up to at least £9,000 per year, but they also took direct action and occupied the front lawn of Cambridge University's Senate House for several hours.

Three activists were arrested today outside a Cambridge Vodafone store during a peaceful protest against Vodafone's £6bn tax exemption. The arrests were made at approximately 3.00pm this afternoon, as activists leafleting outside Vodafone's central store in the Grand Arcade shopping centre were harassed by security guards and police officers.

Yesterday afternoon (Saturday 23rd October 2010), I witnessed history repeating itself, as in response to Tories doing what they always do when they're in power, hundreds of Cambridge people came out onto the streets in protest against the forthcoming proposed cutbacks in funding to the public sector and welfare.
