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.

report on protest in Cambridge
30-11-2010 23:05
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.
