The only way to end tuition fees is to make it impractical for universities/the government/whoever to continue to charge them on a financial level. As such, anti-tuition fees protesters should vote with their feet and drop out of university, taking their delicious money with them. In time, if enough young people do this, tuition fees will be abolished and everyone can re-enrol in higher education, this time for free. The government would be unable to ignore an entire generation deliberately passing over the opportunity to gain graduate qualifications. I think that they might just manage to ignore some banners though. Education is a big business, not just in and of itself but because it drives the economy as well.
