Day four of the Old Schools student occupation, and it seems there have been a few changes.

...That Cambridge University management would rather not see!

Unfortunately today, as a non student I wasn't allowed access to the Combination Room, as apparently there was an incident yesterday involving a couple of drunk people, despite there being signs everywhere declaring said room as an Alchohol free zone.

This is very unfortunate, and I hope that the people involved regret what they did, as it has made it a little more difficult for those of us who are trying to help and support the students.

It will I'm sure also have added fuel to the fire as a further excuse to remove the occupiers from the building.

Not that any be needed, as today there has been a court hearing with a view to evict the occupiers from the Old Schools building.

This means that bailiffs may be due to arrive at any time in the next couple of days, so I shall say the following to any of you out there reading this item.

Come and support them in any way you can, even if it is just to act as a legal observer, because anyone who has had dealings with bailiffs will know that they are (to put it politely) not the most pleasant of people to deal with.

No confirmation yet as to when (or if) eviction is due, but keep following events on the web, as it may happen quickly.

Meanwhile, tomorrow at 12:00pm there will be another anti cuts demo, meeting in front of Great St. Marys Church.

If you care, be there!

According to the Twitter feed this morning, the Old Schools occupation is still going strong, despite the court order yesterday, so no sign of those Bailiffs yet, which is very good news.

Don't forget to be in town at midday today for further anti cuts action.
