London’s tuition fees protest descends into chaos

UNIVERSITY students smashed their way into the headquarters of British Prime Minister David Cameron’s party yesterday during a chaotic protest against the government’s plans to triple tuition fees.

Dozens of demonstrators smashed ground-floor windows and charged into the lobby of 30 Millbank, a 1960s office building near the Houses of Parliament that houses the Conservative Party.

Police appeared overwhelmed by the numbers of students inside the building and were powerless to stop the protesters from tearing down the ceiling and wrecking the reception desks in the lobby.
