Not a NUS sanctioned demo though. He's being his usual self here today: http://www.nus.org.uk/en/News/News/NUS-comments-on-student-protests/
"I am very aware of the overwhelming annger and strength of opposition from students and their families to the Government’s miserable vision for the future of our education – but I am also aware that we need to win over hearts and minds to our cause and violence will not help us to do that."

Students are rioting in Brighton. The Town Hall's been evacuated too

Issues like my extremely intelligent son not being able to fulfil his potential because we can't send him to university. The surgeon who might one day be employed to remove your head from your arse was a student once you know. The scientist who helped develop the medicine that might save your kid one day was a student once. But hey, uni's just one big holiday isn't it?What issues would they be?

I am fucking disgusted by the apathy at Falmouth. One can only assume that it's because they're spoilt middle class kids who haven't got a fucking scooby about what's about to happen to them. It rained so only about 25 people turned up. TWO campuses worth of students and only 25 people turned up. I've fallen out with so many people over it it's no longer funny. Fuck them, they deserve what's coming to them.

Well the t.v. coverage from above has stopped due to nighttime flying rules so they can get away from murder. Well I was there and I can't see that the real reason for the kettling as the police van were across the road anyway into P Square and the protestor left the T Square without any trouble. So that's a puzzle, so my frist thought is that we gone back to the old days of kettling again. It was at this point the police came in from behind so I legged it. The said old police van got hit. It seem odd place to put it but it has been done before by "careless police".
So we need to find the real reason why they were blocked in the first place so anyone out there with a phone number to the BBC can you give them a ring and find out why?

university of birmingham students went into occupation this morning - for some reason I couldn't log on at work, or I would have posted earlier - they are still in occupation, though I rode past earlier and you can't get into the Aston Webb building, and the Unison demo was no longer going on.. you can read the occupiers twitter feed here:

Madzone, you have a wonderful way with words I felt the same about university of birmingham when I was there, but there seem to be a few more people around now, still they only had 30 people take part in the occupation - I'll have to see how many students turned up for the demo and weren't able to get into the building though when I see them next.
I wish that there was more going on around the city though
Sounds like things kicked off in london, I hope none of the students were hurt. Any idea of numbers there?

Got there about 1.15 and the police kettle was already on, people being let in but not out. Was at that point that they should have pushed out.
Then the noose tightened, nobody was going in either, the vans behind the line were positioned to form a tight barrier. People were still gathering and soon there was about 1000 people outside the line, wanting to get in. People were up on the building window ledges, on the corner of whitehall and king charles, graffiti started appearing. The police started clearing them out, met with violence. It looked like the line across whitehall was getting stretched too and I'm pretty sure some broke out.
Then the outer line of vans retreated up whitehall. A fire was started in the street and a couple of explosions followed, as deoderant went on. Saw a tweet from ukuncut saying we were about to be kettled and started walking up whitehall. I could see a line of coppers, followed by mounted police coming down the whole of whitehall, sweeping up everyone leaving, tourists, onlookers. Scrambled over fences through the Mod gardens and escaped the noose.

according to the right to work twitter, there's now a second occupation at the university of birmingham.. stupidly, I've just ordered pizza and in any case I've no idea where at the uni the second occupation is but I'd be heading down there if I knew.. might try to find out and go down after I've eaten

The policing of the student demonstration in London (24.11.10) was nothing short of corrupt. The police play the 'innocent' game frequently, but in this case it is totally blatant as anybody with an authentically independent mind saw.
The placing of an empty police minibus (in Whitehall) in the path of a known militant march of student demonstrators is a 'red rag to a bull'. It is nothing short of entrapment and because of the huge policing resources and plans the police made to kettle demonstrators, is part of a deliberate 'newsmaking' for the right wing dominated media.
It is also intimidating for protestors to be pushed around and contained, and as such is an attack on the right to demonstrate. If there are any police still interested in real policing, I hope they will disassociate themselves from the operational plans and decision making of the Metropolitan police for that protest march.
