Students plan to march to Occupy London, 9th November, at their first action since the protests earlier this year.

The student march will primarily focus on the tripling of tuition fees to £9000 and rising inequality.

#occupyLSX sent out a release today saying they were planning a ‘lively teach out’ to coincide with the march. They will also feature performances from Billy Bragg, Chumbawamba and others.

The students will be joined on the day by thousands of striking electricians who are marching in protest at a 35% national pay cut.

The day of action is supported by National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts, NUS, UCU and a host of trade unions.

The student march will start from Malet Street at 12 noon. It will will travel through Trafalgar Square, up the Strand, before passing the Occupy London Stock Exchange site, just by St Paul’s Cathedral.

It will finish at Moorgate Junction, symbolically next to London Metropolitan University, which is one of the hardest hit institutions.

“The student march will start from Malet Street at 12 noon.”

So basically, it’s going to be the usual 450 suspects from SOAS and half a dozen middle class kids from UCL, as ever, right?

2. Janvier

I thought I read another report saying the police were moving the march away from #occupylsx to prevent disorder…

“The student march will start from Malet Street at 12 noon.”

Ah, convenient for both UCL and SOAS and no-one else. As ever. So 500 usual suspects from SOAS and half a dozen white middle class kids from UCL, rather than a proper student march, then?

4. Student politician

I say, that was disingenuous. Soz Sunny.

Are @1 and @3 related, to each other or the usual Tory troll suspects? I think we should be told.

Birkbeck is actually on Malet Street, but if you can name any other street in central London that intersects the campuses of three leading universities……

Kids, eh? (the trolls, not the students)

6. Student politician

Birkbeck, a leading university? Pull the other one. Even SOAS is better than that dump.

The students don’t really need to pay 9,000 £ per year, unless they earn a lot: http://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2010/12/19/what-do-the-students-want/ – So are the students now demonstrating against paying your fair share when you are better off? And with this message, they join Occupy LSE?
I am confused. But at least I am not marching around in my confusion.

8. David Wearing

@6 – Hmm, I expect their reputation will just about survive the desperate flailings of an anonymous internet troll. They’ll soldier on somehow, that’s my guess

@1 & @3

Actually, many universities are sending free buses down to London, including my own, UEA. So you are unequivocally wrong.
