London, UK. 25th April 2017. Students and workers at the London School of Economics carried out a colourful nonviolent direct action in a demonstration of student-led teaching calling on the LSE to change from what they say is thirty years of growing neglect, cruelty and outright corporate greed towards workers and staff at the school to something beautiful and life affirming. They taped flowers and statements to the windows of the student union and used wipeable poster paint to call on the LSE director to take a pay cut of £100,000 in her £500,000 salary to improve pay and conditions of the lowest paid workers who are on under £9 per hour and have unpaid breaks. After painting the slogan and decorations, they sat outside and held a party until police came and arrested the four who had decorated the Garrick Building alleging they had caused criminal damage, despite their offer to clean off the paint with the sponges they had brought for the purpose.
