MUSICIAN and left-wing activist Billy Bragg is expected to speak against the rise in tuition fees at a march and rally in Taunton this morning.

The event is being organised by students at Richard Huish College who are hoping to attract up to 1,000 protestors from colleges across the county.

Students will assemble in Vivary Park for a march through the town from 11.30am. The rally will be held in Goodland’s Gardens from about mid-day.
