Students and academics face being branded ‘scabs’ if they turn up for classes today as hardliners picket universities in an increasingly bitter lecturers’ strike.
Walkouts will be held at 65 institutions over the next three days, with 45,000 staff refusing to hold lectures in a row over pensions.
Many of the picket lines originally set up by tutors have now been hijacked by rabble-rousing hard-Left student groups. Undergraduates desperate to access libraries and carry on working are being ordered by their peers to stay away to show ‘solidarity’ with the strikers.
