Trans 'allyship' was supposed to lead us all pliantly to accept that men can become women. Now that has failed, the velvet gloves are off to reveal iron fists. But violent threats won't work either, says Caroline Ffiske.

Why don't the English count as an ethnic minority in Wales and qualify for extra cash? Because they're white, says Steven Tucker. But the experience of the English in Wales gives us a picture of our UK-wide future.

50,000 opposed 3fold hike of student fees in London

'This is just the beginning'

Britain's seeing its biggest protest yet against the deep cuts the country faces to tackle its massive debts. Yesterday in London over 50,000 students protested against a planned hike in tuition fees which could see them treble to 9-thousand pounds a year. Later things got far more confrontational; students confronted police, entered conservative party HQ, smashed windows, occupied roof, lit fires in streets...

Around 50,000 students marched against education cuts in a national DEMOLITION demonstration called by UCU and NUS.

30 Millbank Tory HQ was occupied and protestors took roof:

"We oppose all cuts and we stand in solidarity with public sector workers, and all poor, disabled, elderly and working people. This is only the beginning of the resistance to the destruction of our education system and public services."


Later Parliament Square was occupied (again) by the Open University and on Thursday the campaign against fees and cuts is calling to sign a statement of solidarity with the arrested students and an anti-repression blog has been set up.
