Did it fool you?
So "today" I sat in the visitor's area on a debate about the Education Maintenance Allowance program. (Programme?) They basically give students up to 30 pounds per week which they can use for educational expenses like books, food or transportation.
Except not anymore, because the Government decided to scrap the plan in an effort to reduce the deficit.
The EMA-cutting, plus the increase in tuition fees lead to these lovely things called student protests. I happened to catch one as I left work yesterday.
Nothing like getting out of work to a student protest.Sorry it's a little blurry. But all those people in yellow jackets in the front are police officers. And the protesters weren't actually right in front of Parliament, they were closer to Westminster Abbey.
They weren't violent at all either, so don't start worrying about my safety. There were more police officers than usual outside Portcullis House, but no one was even there.
Also, there's nothing like this view when you get out of work.
