A Tabloid Demo Reflecting the NUS Failure

When the usual 'lollipop' demo- placards are sponsored not by the SWP but by "The (Daily) Mirror", the radical student story looks like its near the end of its print- run.
And engendering loads of puns here. Yes, another big demo, just like the last big demo, and guaranteed to fizzle out in the same way . (What was that last one about ? Anyone remember ?) Why indeed go the to the trouble of parading past The HoC and No. 10 after the recess, when every MP has scuttled off home or to Tuscany ? (At least theyve some sense !)
What did the speakers say ? Who could bother to listen ? You know it in advance. It included on this occasion, "Students work very hard nowadays, much harder than when I was a lad" said one. Oh, great, appeal to every bigotted Sun reader besides the Mirror. "Go to your MPs surgery in person" recommended another. Fine, but which part of Tuscany is it based in now ? And which company sponsors it ?
