Hi there,
A couple of items you may like to know about.
First, I’ve just posted this story on Indymedia Cambridge about today’s action:

Second, over the Xmas period, I made and uploaded this short film about 2010′s Tuition Fees protests, which has lots of footage of events in Cambridge:

Hi,
I’m an ex-student, and support the interruption of David Willett’s talk. I thought it was well done, and the reasons for doing it were well articulated.
Just a quick suggestion from someone not involved – I read on the Varsity website that five people had been subjected to ‘violence’. May I suggest – as an outsider reading the paper – that such statements slightly lessened the impact of your protest? I have no idea how bad it actually was, but the way it was expressed would make it possible for some people to suggest that you were over-egging it (and to perhaps write you off under a whole host of stereotypes.) I would suggest that in such cases it either needs to be expressed differently, or not at all, because in my opinion it detracts from, rather than adds to, your cause.
I hope you don’t mind me throwing in my opinion. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t think what you did was good.
Thanks,
Jon Andrews
