    NATIONAL DEMONSTRTION With the Scottish Government proposing cuts of over 20% to colleges across Scotland, with over 100,000 unemployed 16-24 year olds in Scotland, with Scottish Universities becoming the most expensive in Europe for RUK students - it is time to stand up as a generation and say enough! We cannot allow another generation to be lost as happened in the 1980s. We are demanding: *No Cuts, No Forced Mergers! *No Fees wherever you are from! *No Youth Unemployment! *A Living Income For All Youth!
