The now minority Labour administration of the Welsh Assembly Government faced its first defeat when opposition party members ganged up to vote against the introduction of top-up fees in Wales. [BBC News]
They showed images of the demonstration down in the Bay which I went to in December, including me waving my placard! I seem to be in their stock clip of that event, and they seem to show it every time top-up fees in Wales hits the headlines, and each time I get a flurry of people saying “Caleb! I saw you on the news!” which is quite fun.
Anyway, it’s good to see that the demonstration wasn’t in vain, and that Labour was defeated on this despite the apathetically low turnout of students at the protest.
