"Scotland Yard deployed more than 1,500 officers seven times the number on November 10 to control hordes of students smashing windows of government buildings and scrawling graffiti on the walls" this shows the idea that because the positions of power have changed the police must get reinforcements in order to calm the students thus showing the power change.
This is the theory of cultural hegemony by Gramsci 1930 which states that various social classes have more authority over another group for example The police have control over anyones actions or deviant behaviour not matter what there age,class or race is. So in this case with the tuition fees rising students are going to be less likely to afford their place at a university with most not being in a high class which means they are unable to afford to go. This obviously means that the students will do whatever they can to get the decision to change so they almost reject the cultural hegemony and turn in on its head by fighting back with their riots.
