X2 March on York

The march on sunday went very well. Once again we had no violence and no antagonising behaviour towards the police, or from the police. Once again we shouted our heads off, and once again we were cheered on by onlookers.

Well done to everyone who took part, it was brilliant to have so many school and college students marching, it is you who this will affect, it is you we are fighting for.

What really touched me was one woman speaking over the megaphone, who thanked us as a parent, saying she could not afford to support her daughters university attendance if the cuts are voted in. She thanked us, and it meant a lot to hear such praise from someone who isnt a student.

There is another protest this Thursday(9th December), as I am sure we are all aware. See the facebook group for more details: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=736100310#!/event.php?eid=134467146610598

There is also a ballon launch as a protest outside the council offices in york on the same day. Again, see the facebook group for further details:

Thanks to the York Uni occupation for a brilliant open mic night, I enjoyed myself very much, you are a great bunch of people, and very musically talented! long live the Protest Orchestra!

I hope to see everyone out on the street on Wednesday and Thursday, whether it be in York, Leeds, Sheffield, London, or anywhere else in the UK, this is our final chance to put pressure on the already fractured government, and stop the cuts which spell disaster to the generations to come. We cannot let education become exclusive.

Education is a right, and not a privallage
Solidarity between students!

See you on the streets
