London Students Take to Streets in Protest Over Education Fees

The protests broke out toward the center of the city where Prime Minister David Cameron officially resides and comes two weeks after another student demonstration of 50,000. The previous protest on November 10th resulted in broken windows at the headquarters of the ruling Conservative Party and public burnings of effigies of Cameron and his Liberal Democrat deputy Nick Clegg.
Simon Hardy, a spokesman for the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts--the organization responsible for today's demonstrations, said, ""We want to put enough pressure on the government to force them to back down on their plans... It's going to be an excellent example of the big society coming to Downing Street.""
Students across the UK are planning to stage marches, occupy university buildings and walk out on class sessions."
