Student Protest in London

I have just been watching coverage of the student protest and march taking place in London today. The Metropolitan Police say that there are 2,000 protesters. The leaders say that there are 10,000 protesters. Going by the film of it, I think the actual figure would be around 4,000 to 6,000. The ammount of Police deployed to keep order is 4,000. That is about one Policeman to every one and a half protesters. The cost must be astronomical. Up to this moment, there have been no reports of any violence but a few protesters tried to occupy Trafalgar Square and attempted to erect tents. They were forcibly removed. Hopefully, it will go off peacefully and the authorities will see the error of their ways and stop the cuts. If you believe that, then you will believe anything.
