Thousands of young protesters took to the streets today in Bristol, as part of a nationwide wave of student strikes, occupations and demonstrations against the rise in fees and the EMA cut. But as the chants and placards showed - against the ConDem cuts as a whole. As usual the police were heavy-handed, refusing to let the demonstration march to the centre, trying to kettle the protestors in as small an area as possible, charging on horses and also using attack dogs.
The UWE occupation continues, and insofar as I know Bristol Student Union is being occupied.
We must defend any of those protestors arrested, while organising ourselves in a mass, democratic campaign on a national-scale.
Read articles about the occupation on the Socialist party website and the Bristol Evening Post
Update to the date info about protest around the country here
Youth Fight For Jobs will be holding public meetings in Bristol and calling for further nationwide action on December 11th.
