Students march around Westminster protesting against planned increases in tuition fees and maintenance grant cuts on November 24, 2010 in London, United Kingdom.This is the second student day of action and a student march on the 10th November caused widespread damage to Millbank Tower and the Metropolitan police were accused of greatly underestimating the amount of demonstrators. There are plans to raise the student tuition fees in England to around £9,000 a year instead of the current £3,000.

Protesting tuition hikes in the United Kingdom

We've seen a number of pictures recently showing students protesting against tuition increases in England. This photo shows a scene there, but it also plays a little with perception, finding a moment that's interesting outside the context of the protest.

Don't know who was censoring this image but I don't know how the big "F*** the police" could be missed in this image. I think it is great to see people standing up for their rights. Shows that in a democratic society people have the right to complain.

    Fun Pic.

    I like this sort of Candid Capture. This seems reminiscent of The Sixties, The West Bank or Greece and brings to mind The Clash song "Clampdown". I love the guy with his face covered-West Bank-The person making the transition to the Bus Stop Cover via news rack-Sixties- and the Blue and White sign in the background-Greece-quite a collage.

    Ribbit.

      Yet they repeatedly vote in the Labour Party.
