By roughly 10 pm everyone now out of building. Cops turned up soon after building was taken over by students. Apart from being a bit roughed up, there were only two arrests. The rest were let out the building. One person was searched earlier on under Section 1, then released.
Main anti cuts march earlier was lively but largely uneventful.
Photos to follow.
