Police and protesters attending a march in favour of a free education have clashed violently in central London. Thousands are on the streets right now and the tensions are rising. Footage of the clashes has begun to emerge and show the police and protesters clashing.
Key points from the protest……
- Protesters kettled by police at end of march
- Organisers say more than 10,000 took part in protests
- Students say plans to scrap grants will deter poor from attending university
- Shadow chancellor John McDonnell addressed protesters
The footage shows police scuffling with protesters and we need to wake up and realise that we all have a common enemy… GOVERNMENT!
Sky News reports….
There have been violent scenes during a protest in London by thousands of students demanding free education.
TV footage showed scuffles between police officers and a number of demonstrators, including some wearing black hoods and scarves covering their faces.
Students have been marching through central London, calling for tuition fees to be scrapped, the return of maintenance grants and an end to student debt.
Earlier at a rally, shadow chancellor John McDonnell accused the Government of “betraying” students as he addressed the crowds.
And Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn also threw his support behind them in a statement read out at the gathering.
Critics say axeing the maintenance grant and replacing it with loans will burden the poorest students with thousands of pounds of extra debt and put many off higher education.

In my opinion, an education should be free, and should be a global human right. We are living in 2015 and we are watching the youth of today being put under unpayable debt just to persue an education, a debt they will carry with them long into the working lives. The even worse fact of the matter is that the degree’s and qualifications these people are seeking no longer guarantee the best jobs, making it impossible to get out from under the debt. All by design.
I will continue to monitor what is going on in and around the protest and will bring anything of note to you ASAP
