(Groundhog?) "Day X".
I'm not even going to try to be ironic about the source:
'Students across the country are preparing for a day of protests, walkouts and occupations next Wednesday 24 November-“Day X”. The students’ march of 50,000 and occupation of the Tories’ Millbank Tower last week has inspired millions to see that a militant fightback against cuts is possible. The rise of this new student movement has the potential to be a turning point in the battle against the Tories. That’s why it’s vital that Day X isn’t just for students. Workers-whether at colleges or anywhere else-need to come out to show their support as young people fight for our future.'

Regarding the previous Millbank Tower business, and the general excesses of media reporting, a colleague pointed out that, in the absence of an enraged Dr. Bruce Banner, the role played by gravity in the fire extinguisher's descent, rather than an actual throw, might be worthy of mention. There. Job done.
Bonus item: In case you missed it, here's the Institute For Fiscal Studies' note about their 'revised' take on the Government's proposals for HE funding...
