Review of student protest

These video's and texts give an overview of student protesting in a march through London as MPs hold a debate ahead of a vote on tuition fees rises. This Protest, taken place in whitehall, where students are outside the houses of parliament. The idea of this protest is to stop the government raising tutitons fees from £3,000-£9,000.
It is obvious to say that the people involved in this situation are the police, the royal families, givernment, students, institutions (universities), parents and the media. The media has been accused of focusing on the negative side of the protest- an example of this is in 'The Sun', where the headline says, "POLICE guarding Prince Charles and Camilla today faced criticism over how they allowed rioting anarchists to get so close to the Royal couple last night."- This headline is basically discriminating the "police" as a whole, because they are talking about the police not doing job in the right way.


These are just afew texts i have researched:

After his 17 ministers pledged their support, a relieved Mr Clegg said: "I've listened to the debate, I've listened to the protesters, I've listened to my party.


"And I can announce now that all Liberal Democrat ministers - every single one - will vote for this measure when it comes to the vote on Thursday.

"Because in these difficult circumstances, this is the best way to ensure we have world-class universities for generations to come."
