[Marxism] Manchester Uni occupation blog: update

[Ben Ben <youcanemailbenhere@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've managed to speak to one of the occupiers; they've barricaded themselves in 
for the night, and the university postroom is now also occupied - thus 
substantially disrupting the workings of the university. Earlier today police 
physically removed two occupiers, and have now barred access to the building 
for other students (despite promises otherwise). The occupiers are in good 
spirits, have plenty of food (via fellow protestors), and have no intention of 
leaving until demands are met. 

Protest outside: 1.30 Friday. Spread the news.

These university occupations, which potentially might rocket in the next few 
days, need to be seen in the context of the current wave of wildcat strikes.

Solidarity!

Ben
