Strike !

I can't really claim to have a politcal past. When I was younger, I played a gig for the Rock Against Racism movement, demonstrated against Apartheid outside the South African Embassy in London, and went to lots of benefit concerts (especially for the Striking miners during the Thatcher years). The last demonstration I took part in was in 2003 when an estimated 1,000,000 people marched through London to protest against the invasion of Iraq (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2765041.stm).
Unfortunately, Bush & Blair didn't listen to the voice of the people who they were elected to serve.

So much for modern politics!

Write about the student demonstrations from your point of view.
Say:
Why students were demonstrating,
Whether or not you agree with the demonstrations,
Whether or not you took part in the demonstrations.

Mention anything else you think is important. Write at least 250 words. Leave a comment on your teacher's blog and the blogs of at least 3 classmates.
