UK Prime Minister David Cameron is seeking to triple university fees for universities in England from just over £3,000 a year to £9,000. The Commons will vote on the paper on Thursday but the result is no foregone conclusion. After fierce lobbying from students and trade unionists, a number of high-profile politicians have said they're prepared to resign over the matter. Tens of thousands are expected to stage the biggest demonstration yet before voting gets underway.

hope the protests are more peaceful than last time, the behavior last time was disgusting; maybe we should have a little perspective http://davidhatton1987.blogspot.com/2010/11/little-perspective.html
