He should have not closed St.Pauls
The Council in that Area of London is taking this Mob to Court.


But The St.Pauls Workers do not understand this.

Those in tents there
will not Change this System we are all in.
Marxism is not to be brought in - It can not work.


Worse is many of the Tents over night are Empty
as the Mob goes home to watch SkyHD TV
or VirginHD TV or FreeviewHD TV or FreesatHD TV.

Stuart Fraser, the City of London Corporation's policy chairman, said: "We took this action to clear the tents and equipment at St Paul's.

"We hope the protesters will now remove the tents voluntarily. If not, and subject to any appeal proceedings, we will be considering enforcement action as soon as possible.

''Lawful protests are a regular part of City life but tents, equipment and increasingly, quite a lot of mess and nuisance, is not what a highway is for and the public generally is losing out - as evidence before the court made clear.''

The squatters have been permitted more than ample rights - now it's time for the citizens to reclaim theirs ..... :hmph:

The best way to chellenge the status quo is for people to get off their arses and vote. However, around half of those entitled to vote in this country can't be bothered, despite the fact they can postal and proxy if they want. So who's fault is it that this country doesn't get the government it may need, but instead gets the government chosen by the people who can be bothered to vote.

How many people don't know the name of their MP? Their district councillor? Their town or county councillor? How many people say "I'm not interested in politics" and then moan because their tax is too high or the banks are ripping us off?

Most people who work in the City of London are ordinary people paying mortgages and yet had to suffer abuse from these "freedom fighters" outside St Paul's every morning. Good that they've gone. Hopefully one or two of them may now be looking for work.

Let's go with your theory for the moment, and everyone in the country decides to vote in the next election. Which party is concerned with the needs of citizens versus corporations.

Labour and the Tories are two cheeks of the same arse, these days. Besides, not everyone can be interested in politics, but everyone has the right not to be ****ed over by the government and denigrated through a campaign of ignorance and indifference.

To restrict peoples right the protest is to maintain things as they are. History has proved, that in times of recession and financial hardship, the country (and most others, too) swings massively to the right. Well now, the scene is set for a true liberal and progressive movement. Liberals are on the right side of many of the issues today, and our views are unknowingly shared by a majority of people.

The occupy movement was a spontaneous uprising worldwide, and as such, it has serious flaws. However, in terms of awakening a section of the population, and identifying honourable causes, and real problems with income disparity, then it is performing a role, that could potentially lead on to something bigger.

The Nazi party developed out of beer hall in Munich mixed with extreme poverty, so it is not the case that small groups of people can't ignite a movement if the conditions are right. I'm not saying we should emulate the Nazi's before people misunderstand my point, I'm merely pointing out that it only takes a spark and the right conditions, for a real positive fire for change to be possible.

They shouldn't be abusing passers by on a daily basis in my opinion, but it doesn't make their cause any less true or worthy.

Anti Capitalist Scum - There is No Other Way in this World
Deal With It

Corporations are raking in record profits on a quarterly basis. No one is saying they should be breaking even so that people can sit in council housing eating Dorito's all day. People are saying they should be paying fair tax into the treasury.

In the US last year, corporations paid a record low 11% tax, and they're only the ones who don't have bases in the Caymans tax haven.

How much is too much?

Corporations rely on people having money in their pockets to buy their products. The average earnings of the top 10% are growing exponentially, whereas the income of the middle/working class has remained relatively stagnant.

Fairness doesn't mean communism or anti-capitalist. It means fair.

I say this as someone who earns twice what our national salary is. I'm not a work shy, moaner. I'm someone advocating for fairness and everyone chipping in.

The Tories would have gone to war with Bush, too.

All parties become complacent with years of power. The scandals hitting the last Tory government towards the end of their last term were almost a daily occurrence.

That's just a fact, that is inarguable.

Bush and Blair are supposedly different sides of the political spectrum, and that's the problem. The whole political conversation has become a centre right discussion.

I might not back you on that. Not entirely.

Regarding Thatcher and her relationship with Reagan... During the Falklands conflict in 1982, Reagan, initially keeping the USA well out of any side-taking by sending Haig backwards and forwards on a fruitless "peace mission", urged thatcher to call a ceasefire. Thatcher refused. Reagan was forced to give his backing to the UK. She was no lap dog. And this was twelve years after she abolished school milk. That happened in 1970 when she was Secretary of State for Education. The Tories having just come in to power had to make cuts because of the overspending by the outgoing Labour government. Sounds familiar...?

No political party will ever please all of the people all of the time. They can only please some of the people some of the time.

Thats something we Do Not Know
Corrupt New Labour Sexed up the Report
saying he could Bomb us - Fecking Lie

New Labour Feckers

I do think from history arista, it would have been totally unlikely that a Conservative govt would not have gone to war with the USA in Iraq too. I personally couldn't see a Conservative PM refusing to go along with a Republican President of the USA, they did in 1990/91 as to Iraq too.

Like Bush jnr, a Conservative govt would have also seized on the opportunity to complete the job started in 1990/91.

I might not back you on that. Not entirely.

Regarding Thatcher and her relationship with Reagan... During the Falklands conflict in 1982, Reagan, initially keeping the USA well out of any side-taking by sending Haig backwards and forwards on a fruitless "peace mission", urged thatcher to call a ceasefire. Thatcher refused. Reagan was forced to give his backing to the UK. She was no lap dog. And this was twelve years after she abolished school milk. That happened in 1970 when she was Secretary of State for Education. The Tories having just come in to power had to make cuts because of the overspending by the outgoing Labour government. Sounds familiar...?

No political party will ever please all of the people all of the time. They can only please some of the people some of the time.

As ever I agree with most you say Livia, although I certainly would not have been a supporter of Margaret Thatcher, I do from all I have read and seen on TV think she did right with the Unions between 1979 and 1990, she was certainly a strong leader and took no nonsense, she stood up better to Europe on lots of issues and as to her relationship with Reagan, I think by and large she more often than not pulled the strings there anyway.Him needing her far more than vice versa.

No you can not guess.

I didn't agree with the invasion of Iraq,I was though only 11 at the time so my opinion didn't matter.
I still think had Hague won the 2001 election that he would have supported Bush in that ideal especially to get rid of Saddam Hussain,some other seemingly uncompromising reason would have likely been thought up between them to justify it.

Perspective is biased by our own views, so I understand what you mean. However, you will surely back me up on the point that corruption in the last Tory government, ensured scandal after scandal towards the last days of their reign.

My wider point was contradicting Arista's assertion that corruption was the sole possession of the labour party. Whereas it isn't, it becomes rife in all political parties, the longer they maintain power.

I am not disagreeing with you arista,(would I ever),I believe the invasion of Iraq was wrong but I still doubt no mater what Govt was in power at the time, Labour or Conservative that the end result, by means fair or foul, would have been we supported the USA and Bush in that invasion.

It seems the only thing we can be sure of as to power in politics as to all the parties,(I include the Lib Dems in this too now), is that in fact likely it is having power that corrupts the integrity of all Govts, no matter what their political persuasion is.

As for these protesters, it seems they have only moved a short distance away now anyway so do we have to go throughall the hoo ha again and waste even more money on involving courts again.Let's hope not and that they can be persuaded to give up on this.

So what are you doing about it ?

I contribute though my taxes. I also make donations to worldwide political organisations that are pushing for more progressive solutions to world events. Last year, for example, I flew over to Wisconsin to take part in fightback against an ultra conservative governor who stripped bargaining rights away from workers, after giving huge tax breaks to corporations.

I've visited many parts of the world to offer a pair of hands to work and help in the construction of village infrastructure.

I also chip in to a Pizza fund for the occupy movement.

My conscience is clear. I don't stand atop a mountain, looking down at poor people and sneer at them for not getting off their lazy arses. I involve myself in the things I'm passionate about.

We knew he certainly had likely the means and materials and his messing the UN inspectors about fuelled more suspicion definately although I do believe Mr Blair was very inventive with his presentation as to why we should support this invasion. Yes though, you are totally right,a lot was put Iraq's and Saddam Hussain's way from the UK govt especially at the time he was in conflict with Iran with the UK supporting him.

The UK arms industry is massive. We sell weapons to all sorts of people, no matter who is in power. Do you think that we don't sell weapons to tin-pot dictators when Labour's in the chair?

Can't disagree on that one. Power corrupts, and all that.
