Stop the Cuts - National Demonstration

More - VAT rise and Income Tax hit me by more than that in a year.

On a side note, and i doubt it apples to many here - but anyone going on to a career in the city is likely to have their fees paid for them by their employer

Congrats on being very well off, but my point stands (I feel). You said cuts are affecting everyone, and you don't see them protesting. I'm pretty sure, however, if you asked everyone in the UK, poor-to-rich (as there is no progressive payment scheme here), to fork out 18k, you'd see a whole lot more people on the streets.
