DayX3: Which Side Are You On?

9th Dec: On the day Parliament will vote on Tuition Fees tens of thousands of students, higher education staff and supporters are due to demonstrate in London and Edinburgh in the latest of a month long series of protests [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] actions and over 30 occupations [1,2,3] including schools in london. With the student protests coinciding with the growth  of a wider anti-austerity cuts movement, the RMT union has called on trade union members to take to the streets to support the students. The DayX3 march, lobby and rally comes the day after demonstrations were held across the country. Whatever happens today, it's clear more people are becoming politicised, radicalised and prepared to fight back.
