Dear all,

on the 9th of December 2010 Parliament will vote on student fees. The country now knows how to march, the country now knows what they want, and they are learning quickly what politics looks like.

On the 9th Glasgow will protest alongside those across the country, in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. With those in Europe. We need to take our education back.

The University is a factory, the school is a factory, the office is a factory, the factory is abusive. Banks and finance made this crisis, we will not pay for it, student, worker, lecturer, the unemployed. The poor, the hard worker. We are not against bankers or politicians, we are against the system they refuse to change.

Legal aid, the NHS, Citizen's Advice Bureau, Social Services, Public Transport, the Royal Mail, Education, Health Services, Asylum Seekers, even The Sandyford Sexual Health Clinic, everything is being attacked, much is being scrapped. This is our society. And we are not to blame, we want a different world.

Apologies for the polemic, but we must support those who take to the streets to defend their services and their society. Please spread this information. The basic rally point is:

10am, 9th December, Buchanan Street. Put it in your diaries.
May change at short notice, stay aware, stay updated.

Emergency mass meetings will be organised and called tomorrow.

Remember the phrase "general strike". Learn new songs.

See you on the streets.
