Over 30,000 students demonstrated in Dublin, in what was reported to have been the ‘largest student protest in a generation’.
When 50,000 students marched through London on November 10 both the police and student union leaders were shocked at the scale of the mobilisation. This was, however, an indication of the depth of the anger at the Con-Dem coalition's savage cuts and a growing determination to fight back. PETER TAAFFE assesses the significance of this event and the potential to build an all-Britain movement against the government's plans in an article to be published in the December-January 2010/11 edition of Socialism Today.
