York Sit-In

We are a peaceful, non-violent protest, opposed to the decrease in funding for Higher Education, and occupying the Uni of York's Physics & Electronics building.

[York Sit-In @GreatYorkSitIn]

We're still here for now! Roundtable with Dr. Simon Parker and friends @ 12:30, general meeting @ 6:15 <-- Important!

It's the UGM today! Go and debate and get a clear message out to everyone to vote NO to Motion 3 and YES to Motion 6! xx

[let it end @mediumawareness]

try to understand the dichotomy in Parliament Square - peaceful protests give a good impression of the students, but violence gets coverage.

[Tuition Fees @tuitionfeesblog]

It doesn't seem fair that Scottish & Welsh MPs can vote in favour of this higher cap on #tuitionfees when it doesn't affect their students!

[Coloured Lines @ColouredLines]

Jonathan Edwards made a good point - education is a right and not a privilege! #tuitionfees #bbcparliament

[Ben @Coalition_gov]

Ok we're about to vote. Someone remind me, what's "abstain" again? Is that the one where you won't get pregnant? #solidarity #tuitionfees

[Edinburgh Anti-Cuts @EdinUniAntiCuts]

Mike Crockart (our local LibDem MP) has resigned from his govt. post to vote against fees. Thanks Mike. #solidarity

[York Sit-In @GreatYorkSitIn]

@pamblundell The march is starting in King's Square (near Barnetts I think) at 4 pm

[York Sit-In @GreatYorkSitIn]

[York Sit-In @GreatYorkSitIn]

Lots of people now off to march on york! Good luck and #solidarity everybody!

Govt *chooses* to conjure up cash to protect our banking system by helping Ireland but can't fund education. Not can't, won't. #tuitionfees
