Free Education - No Barriers, Borders or Business

Malet St to Parliament Sq, London. Wed 4 Nov 2015

  
 
'No Fees, No Cuts - Grants Not Debt' 

 'Don't cut us out - Education is a right'

 'No Barriers, No Borders, No Business #Grants Not Debts' - the NCAFC placard

 'No One is Illegal'

 more NCAFC placards - 'Free Education - Tax the Rich' and 'Grants Not Debt - Join the #StudentStrike'

 

 An odd bit of slang -'Tuition Fees Aren't Fetch' - a US TV series wordthat never caught on

 Behind the samba band were placards including 'Rejoice in collective action'

 'Cameron, Stop F**cking with our Piggy Bank' was one of quite a few pig-related placards

  'UCL welcomes refugees'
 
Several of those holding the main banner wore masks. The red square is a symbol of student protest against tuition fee increases

omnia sunt communia - "all things are to be held in common and distribution should be to each according to his need"
was attributed to reformation theologian Thomas Muntzer, a leader of the German peasants revolt in 1525.
From his final confession under torture, it probably reflects what his torturers thought he advocated rather than his actual views

'Tear down the Fences - No Borders' banner 

black bloc with anarchist flags 

There were a number of speeches from student representatives 

 

and then some fighting words from Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell MP 

 

a lecturer from Warwick gave her support 

studnets listen to the speeches
