Students take to the streets against fees and tax dodgers

Students stormed into shops and blocked streets this weekend to demand the abolition of higher-education fees and an end to tax-dodging businesses.

Thousands took action in Brighton, London, Birmingham, Bath, Hastings and Chichester many bringing their families, friends and lecturers along.

The largest march took place in Brighton where as many as 800 people blocked the streets, shouting: “Whose education? Our education!”
