If you’re a student you can get a free trip to London to support the march, paid by the NUS from a donation from the EU Commission.All in the name of democracy you understand.
Excellent.
We wouldn’t want the biggest shouts just to come from the richest, such as big business, would we?
We wouldn’t want just the old establishment to have the ability to be heard would we?
All open and above board.
No we wouldn’t, we’d want transparency on who is funding what, that goes for both sides in this debate.

I doubt a student or any other twenty-year old would give up a Saturday to go on a protest march in return for a free bus ticket. I surely wouldn’t have at that age!Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk
As for students not wanting to spend a day out at a protest in London, even if the travel is free, from what I’ve seen the protests seem more like lovely days out, more like a festival than a serious political demonstration. You’re also part of the group, something many young people desperately desire to be, especially if it separates you from those fuddy duddy old people. And after the protest, no doubt there are plenty of clubs and parties to go to.
