In Britain, thousands of students took to the streets on Tuesday in the latest protest against a round of education cuts and tuition hikes. The measures were part of a sweeping austerity package unveiled in October.
Protester: “We have come here because we’re absolutely disgusted at what the coalition party is proposing to do. I mean, Nick Clegg even said he would scrap school fees altogether. Now he wants to increase them three times. It’s disgusting, and I can’t believe that they haven’t chose to listen to us. And we are going to come out every possibility — every possible time we can to fight and to say that we want a right to good education with the fees that we have right now.”
