Occupation

The Wilson Road building has been "occupied" in protest against education cuts and fees tripling -
Rather takes one back to the glory days of '68 - decades before these students were born, most of 'em!
They haven't been disrupting classes or anything counterproductive like that.
Students' action (and thousands marched on parliament) came before politicians' vote on whether to raise fees etc - result, a small majority, 21. Things are getting worse for young people, alas. Lost funds from tax dodgers could go a long way to covering the government's deficit.
