As reported elsewhere, tourists were evacuated as Italian students protesting against education reforms blockaded the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Colosseum in Rome. Where the British smash up a reception and graffiti a police van, our cultured continental counterparts occupy world heritage sites. Are we the Unibond Premier Division of protest to their Serie A?

The prospect of copycat actions from UK students may cause sweaty palms at the National Trust.

Staff at Caernarfon Castle man the battlements!
