The magnificent movement of the
students on November 10th has proved to be far from a flash in the pan,
as the recent wide-scale actions that have followed show. Some estimates
are that over 100,000 students were mobilised nationally on Wednesday
24th, far exceeding the number of the first demonstration. The
involvement of a large amount of school students, in particular, has
been a further new development. The movement clearly has momentum and
large layers of the population show open sympathy for the plight of the
youth. Another day of action has been called for tomorrow, Tuesday
November 30th, which should be given the fullest support. Questions are
being raised, however, as how does the student movement progress from
here?

 The student movement accross Britain continued on Wednesday
24th November, with thousands of students and school students
demonstrating in cities
and towns across the country. Following on from the 50,000 strong
national
demonstration in London on the 10th November, an equivalent
number
came out to protest against the cuts, but this time in dozens of
separate
events throughout Britain.

Events have taken a turn in Britain as
the first mass reaction took place this week against the programme of
vicious cuts being introduced by the Tory-led coalition. On Wednesday,
November 10th, London witnessed an overwhelming response from the
students as a demonstration of over 50,000 marched in protest at the
attacks taking place in Higher Education.

 Yestersday's NUS/UCU demo in London against attacks on further education
attracted over 50,000 mainly students, who came in their numbers from
all over the country. Many of these were young people demonstrating for
the first time ever. It will not be the last. As the attacks start to
bite, more and more youth will come into activity and draw the political
conclusions.

If anyone still
had any illusions that “we are all in this together”, the Browne Report
and the
Comprehensive Spending Review quickly shattered them. By their actions
this
Coalition has shown it is a government of the rich, by the rich, for the
rich.

Given the cuts already announced to Higher Education (HE), a leading
group of professors was asked by The Guardian (19th October) what HE
would look like in 10 years given the Browne report. The comments were
startling but not surprising.

October 12th was a dark day in the history of British education. Lord
Browne’s review, set up to find ways to off load the burden of higher
education from the state’s balance sheets, went significantly further
than had been expected. In announcing that there should be a complete
free market in higher education, with universities able to charge
whatever they like, Browne signalled that the crisis of capitalism has
forced the government to go much quicker and deeper in their plans to
remould higher education than they had expected.

The economic downturn has placed a heavy burden on the shoulders of the
working class who have paid the price for the mistakes of the bosses and
bankers through cuts and redundancies. The youth in particular have been hit
hard with many unable to find work or being forced into education.

Leaving the home you grew up in, the people you will love forever and
experiences to look upon from afar, being an international student is no
easy task, perhaps, even more so, when you come from a small island..

The General Election on May 6th is undoubtedly the most significant
election since New Labour came to power in 1997. For many of today’s
youth, this election will be the first in which they can vote.
Significantly, this generation of young people will also be the first
voters who were born after the reign of Margaret Thatcher. The upcoming
General Election, therefore, will be partially decided by “Thatcher’s
children”.
