STUDENT PROTEST

The video covers two main topics: a student protest in Hyde Park, London, against government plans to reform student unions, and the introduction of HMS Wilton, the world's largest plastic warship. The protest, led by Digby Jacks, saw 20,000 students marching to Trafalgar Square, expressing opposition to government policies, including those of Margaret Thatcher. Despite high tensions, only one arrest was made. The second part of the video introduces HMS Wilton, highlighting its non-magnetic reinforced glass fiber construction, which serves as a deterrent against magnetic mines. Although more expensive to manufacture, its long-term maintenance costs are lower, making it economical.
