In 2010 the government will look to lift the current £3000 a year limit on university fees. Soon we could see a return to times when working-class people can't consider university, as they simply won't be able to afford it. The situation here will be like America, where fees could be £40‐50 grand a year, and someone like George Bush can buy a degree from Harvard.
Not everyone wants to go to university. But soon working-class young people won't have the choice!
NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION, WEDNESDAY 25 FEBRUARY 2009 11am, Malet Street, London. Against all fees! Free education for all!
At Somers Town Community Centre, Ossulston Street, London NW1. Nearest stations: Euston and St. Pancras.
