We seem to have finished filming. I'm not going to count my chickens, but it looks like I've done my last night shift for the time being, and am more or less back in Bristol, at least until the middle of January.

I'm quite impressed that the students have got out on the streets. Obviously no one wants to be hit on the head by a fire extinguisher, but nevertheless it's good to see them marching past the BBC. Apparently one had a sign saying 'First Dobby's dead, now this?!'. Ten points for good old English self-deprecation.

But how can the government realistically say they can't find the money for education any more, when they're letting companies like Vodafone and the ultra-rich like Philip Green slip through the legal loopholes? I was a student, I paid fees, and now I pay taxes. He was a student, he didn't pay fees, and now he doesn't pay taxes. Talk about a bunch of rich kids pulling the ladder up once they've got what they need. Yes universities need more funding. But surely there are other possibilities. That's the last time I vote Liberal Democrat.
