MrSmith Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I've probably missed this bit somewhere but if they are protesting aginst the Stock Exchange/Banks etc then why are they outside St Paul's and not in the City somewhere? Because the stock exchange has the right in law to prevent them from camping in their grounds, the church have the same rights but are more tolerant. The protesters are abusing the church’s tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 why are they outside St Paul's and not in the City somewhere? They were moved out of The City and invited to St Paul's. 5 days later St Paul's locked their doors and this saga began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I've probably missed this bit somewhere but if they are protesting aginst the Stock Exchange/Banks etc then why are they outside St Paul's and not in the City somewhere? Ive explained this several times now. But to clarify again...... We all met at Paternoster Way in London, and the idea was to go to the Stock Exchange, however, the police blocked all entrances. If you look on google, the SE is right besides St Pauls. The MET kettled us all around St Pauls, whom incidently sent out their staff, to say we could use their toilets and facilities. In the end, the protesters decided to stay at St Pauls, which is literally a stones throw away from the Stock Exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrians Lad Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 You wont find the protesters using violence. That will be a first . The "Rent-a-mob" protesters usually travel the country latching onto any hiar brained cause they can ,all in the hope of a ruck with the police. Thats what Anarchists do .

Andy Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 We all met at Paternoster Way in London, and the idea was to go to the Stock Exchange, however, the police blocked all entrances. This should not have come as a surprise, given that Paternoster Square is private property, and you had already been told you weren't welcome. In any case it appears the cathedral will be reopening soon: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/oct/26/st-pauls-reopen-occupy-london?newsfeed=true The Evening Standard are reporting that the City of London Corporation (effectively the local council) are planning legal action to remove the protesters.

Adrians Lad Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 . Not sure that can be said of the MET. Yeah ,Yeah , those brutal ,nasty police go out of their way to harrass and assualt innocent protesters. Anarchist protesters are ALWAYS on the look out for a ruck with the police ,as they represent the Establishment ,then scream like pigs when they get what they came for .

ECCOnoob Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 You wont find the protesters using violence. Not sure that can be said of the MET. Protestors are never violent. Errm... some are. Is what happened recently in Brixton / Camden / Manchester / Hoxton etc was not violence then.... Oh yeah sorry. "I was speaking up for our rights init". I will remembver that next time I fancy throwing a fire extinguisher off a roof or setting fire to a few buildings.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
