Who cares about upper class students. A few years ago their parents were protesting against the ban on fox hunting so why support these upper class people?

I admire your subtle trolling skills, but I think you are living in the distant past when students were largely from the leisured classes. Nowadays students come from all across the class spectrum.

unfortunately universities aren't filled with a class spectrum and the majority, yes, are middle class. but these protests are in solidarity with Education Not For Sale which is the campaign to dismantle university fees - thus opening it up for the whole. education isn't a privilege, it's a right.
i wish that university wasn't elitist, that the grades you get ensure you a place; the grades you need come out of the A levels you get and these A levels are ensured by the highest bidder putting their kids through swanky private schools. not saying that this includes everyone, but many.
on the back of this it is important that this protest was also in solidarity with the USU strike ballot - the result being 80% of USU voting for strike action. it is also for the creche which is being closed down, for the 115 jobs that are being cut, the cleaners who are being outsourced and everyone who is being faced with oppressive regime that is being put in place by Management whilst they pay with university funds for their wives, sons and daughters to go on holiday and they themselves chow down on a £70 steak.
so yes, the majority of students are middle class, would you prefer they were more apathetic to the growing situation?

p.s. it was fucking impressive to see how students, who haven't necessarily seen this side of the police before, stood up to this voilence.

Being a class struggle anarchist, I am in total solidarity with the students occupying and fighting back, in Westminster, Leeds and Sussex.
To label them as upper class is just a clear joke and pointlessly divisive and offensive. For a start it isolates us from the 50% of the population who go - if we disregard 50% of the population as upper class then we're not even a majority. Upper class people own the means of production and exploit workers. How the fuck do students do that? They're not even rich, far from it, they are impoverished and crippled by debt and have to take out vast loans to support themselves. And yes, this is true right up to Oxbridge as well. I really hate all the crude Class War type stuff just slagging of so-called middle class people. Middle class is largely just a cultural label, and most 'middle class' people are exploited by bosses and the rest of the ruling elite. Most have to work as well as their lectures, etc. just to support themselves and keep themselves afloat.
Students from U.S to U.K seeming to be gaining a class consciousness and respect to them for that.
