Louie Nardini, York Socialist Students
Students are standing up against Labour’s new hike of tuition fees. With Bob Marley music being blasted and megaphone chanting, people stopped to talk to us at our protest at York uni.
One student asked how it would be funded. We stated that a 1% wealth tax could easily generate £25 billion, and that a push for higher corporation tax and a decrease in income tax on ordinary people could easily lift the burden on many working students. We also talked to the York Vision student magazine and gave leaflets to passers-by about Labour’s proposals, and why they should not be trusted by students.
