Massive UK Protest Against University Fees — British Students Occupy Conservative Party HQ

Students in Britain are staging a massive protest against huge fee hikes and staggering cuts to government aid to higher education.

  • The country’s National Union of Students estimates that as many as fifty thousand student activists are marching in London at this hour.
  • Some 200 students took over the lobby of the Conservative Party’s national headquarters earlier today. Police sources report two cops were injured in clearing the lobby, and protesters remain on the HQ
