Birmingham University students continue occupation over debt privatisation
Students continued an occupation of Birmingham University's senate chamber yesterday as part of national protests against the privatisation of student debt.

It came on the day that the Student Assembly Against Austerity staged protests against the sell-off of the student loan book across Britain.
