There have been lots of students protests around uni, on account of proposed cuts (modern languages; combining archaeology & history among others) and re-instating tuition for Scottish students. There was one last week that made it onto the TV. There were police and helicopters and 14 students were arrested! I was leaving my Celtic tutorial when it happened, and got a couple pics.
One of the things they were chanting was:
"Whose city?"
"Our City!" in lovely Scottish accents!

The students eventually drove the police (and the police vehicles) back. |
Go students!! What a different world, eh? Wish I could have been there to experience it.
