More Protests Against U.K Austerity Measures

As the British government continues announcing cuts in government spending, social strife continues to rise. In protests similar to those against Thatcherism, students have already been protesting massive cuts in education spending which will result in a tripling of tuition. Now the government has announced it will end "education maintenance allowances" which were paid to encourage low-income students to stay in college. In response to this latest announcement, protests are expected at about 100 British colleges.
