Students take on Clegg

SHEFFIELD students and health service campaigners are staging a rolling programme of “banner drops” protesting at David Cameron’s and Nick Clegg’s privatisation and dismantling of the NHS.

Campaigners are working to oust the Lib Dem Deputy PM at the general election on May 7, swamping his Sheffield Hallam constituency with pro-NHS billboards.

Campaigners in Sheffield are carrying out their programme of banner drops across the former steel city this week, with students hitting Sheffield Hallam University’s Owen building yesterday.
