Is the next one on the 30th? If so then no, because my Grandma and Grandad are off to New Zealand for three months and I must bid them fare-thee-well. Of course if it is on any other date besides that then I will attempt to attend if I can be bothered.

I'll be attending the London one, should be fun, however it will be snowing :|

Not sure :( I went to the last two but I've missed a fair amount of school recently. depends if my friends want to go, but probs no.

but I would urge people to go if they can!

[Shar]

I feel really gutted missing the first one! From what I heard and saw on the news it looked good

[FlyingJesus]

And here was me thinking the idea of protests was to get a message across that you care about rather than have a fun day out with some friends, silly me. It really ought to be announced when definitions get changed

If the weather goes by its forecast won't all the schools and colleges be shut anyway - sort of ruining the point in having a protest lol

How so?

[AgnesIO]

How so?

Well surely the point in doing a protest on a WEEKDAY is that you don't go to school/college/university..

I doubt the government give two ***** about students marching.

I agree, it's suppose to be a walkout day and we can't really walkout if there's no school or college :rolleyes:

It's not like the main protests in London have even been at educational institutes though is it...

[Rozi]

I'm actually going now :) glad I'm not going to miss it.

These walkouts a pointless not like he government will listen but have fun.

It's worth a try :) and I'm not doing it for the fun, I'm doing it because I believe the proposed changes are wrong.

This. Without making a stand and forming a mass movement against these changes our voices won't be heard (and the conservatives and liberal democrats are quite deaf). That's just stage 1.
Women didn't the vote by just standing around...

Watching on the news channels now, I find it funny when the police horses run in and they **** themselves

[FlyingJesus]

Do you mean the horses **** themselves or the students

[ifuseekamy]

What a bunch of idiots, they're lucky the horses didn't go nuts and trample a load of them. Wouldn't have been a loss though.

[Niall!]

Well done to the lads in London (the ones that managed to protest peacefully anyway)

The Belfast protest went well until we were charged by the police from both sides. There was little to no trouble which I think is good for Belfast.
