It's getting hot for the banksters. Today at least looks as one of those days when all happens at the same time, putting strong pressure to the rotten and obsolete Capitalist fortress of unreal economy and monopoly of power. But days like today are getting unusually common. The famous beginning sentence of the Communist Manifesto strikes as strangely modern: a spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of Popular Power (or what is the same: Communism).
While all Portugal was paralyzed by the General Strike and Italian students almost take over the Senate, British students took over London again. But also many other cities in the big island (Plymouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Newcastle, Sheffield...).
The main demonstration at London turned violent at Whitehall as police clashed with students attempting to access the offices of Prime Minister Cameron in order to transmit him directly their total rejection to his extreme budgetary cuts, that will triplicate the fees that British students must pay, making university education a privilege for the wealthy.
They also attempted to access the offices of the minor partner in the ruling coalition the Liberal Democratic Party.
The result so far is of two injured students and a vandalized police van, as well as an unknown number of arrests.
In the rest of the state, BBC reports demonstrations and occupations of universities in Manchester, Bristol (where there were also clashes), Birmingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, Leeds, Cambridge, Nottingham, Brighton, Warwick, Plymouth, Durham, Derbyshire, Cornwall, Colchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
