- Remember when teachers, nurses, doctors & lollipop ladies crashed the stock market, wiped out banks, took billions in bonuses and paid no tax? Me neither.

Here's an extract from Elephant - an online independent student media group live blogging the action and tweeting as @elephantstudent and #elestu
"We've arrived at Hackney Community college, which will be marching down to Lincoln Inn Fields for 11am today. There are several socialist worker vendors in attendance, and significantly more teachers than students."
