[project2012] Re: [Dem-Village] 'Agricultural' tax scam

Of course, put all the energy into the big first!

Strongly suggest you get yourself down to meet the student anti-cuts groups
now formed, to understand, and also help them to understand, what this is
about. Students should be particularly amenable as they are keen to get
alternatives forward as part of initiatives to build the movement. So get
yourself down to a Teach In asap, and then listen, learn and find a skilful
way to teach what you know!

Here's something to give you a flavour of student concerns and some of the
possibilities that might flow out of it, just sent me by a comrade:
