On October 20th 2010 the coalition government announced the most extreme cuts in the public sector for sixty years. On November 22nd 2010 SOAS students occupied a University room in protest against the cuts. On November 24th the students were served with a court notice at 1200. The court case was at 14.30. After the case the students have a meeting where Jeremy Corbyn MP speaks.
On November 24th the students lost their case. Instead negotiations started with SOAS management. On December 30th SOAS students joined a national protest in London. The following day students, supported by staff voted to remain in occupation. Afterwards Tariq Ali spoke to them.
That night they were told the coalition government would vote on education cuts on December 9th 2010. Protests are planned across the country.
This version includes Nick Clegg talking about education and disadvantaged children, more about the court case and the occupation, Jeremy Corbyn MP, music, student protests, and Tariq Ali.
'We will come out rain, snow and shine, and whatever the police do to us, we will stand and be united'. SOAS student.
