Over 500 people turned up to protest this evening in an event that was for some incredibly emotional, others extremely frustrating - and for the people that got in it seemed that fun was had in the form of a sit-in in the Union and a musical rendition from an anti-fascist pianist!

The protesters partially succeeded in disrupting the debate whilst the cops, unsurprisingly, threw their weight around.

Fuller reports to follow.
