I was there at All Saints.

I was there at All Saints. One of the formative experiences of my life. Stumbled across this while preparing a lesson to give to my own students on British values: Democracy: The point of protest. They are shutting down the sixth form college where I work and have told the students that there is no point protesting. PS: I have scans of the Guardian article on the occupation. How can I post them?

hey, great to hear from you! Sorry about your college though, that is crap. Although feel free to post here if you do any campaigning against it.

That's cool about the Guardian articles, you can post them by clicking submit content up in the top left, then library, then adding them to the file attachments section if they are PDF files
