#occupy London....

Not on site no...not too far from it though and have been down there a couple of times. Will be back there tomorrow afternoon/evening too.

If you are interested, you have nothing to lose. Many people are staying on site, others are sleeping at home in London but pretty much there everyday, all day...
 
Keep it up till next Summer - I promise you'll get swept away like garbage when the Olympics starts - just like in Australia :D
 
quite a way before it starts. is it august? the clearup will begin on april 30th :(

missed the opportunity this summer imo. camping in winter, what a load of shit =(
 
I don't mind camping in winter. I'm kitted up much better for winter than summer really. Fuck it I'm going for a week, maybe more who knows. :)
 
when will you be there? and where are you from?
i'll be there monday for a week i think. would be nice to meet some erbs =)
 
I had an idea. If they do get moved, then for occupying the next place, start the occupation by all wearing suits. Probably would have got into Paternoster Square if everyone was wearing a suit and did it on a Monday morning.
 
is it ok for me to post my banner and slogan ideas?

i have an idea of the occupations being transformed into open air art exhibitions of revolutionary and politcal work like those being shared on facebook and others sites - some good ones on truthaholics and the real art of protest.

it could become a tourist attraction of a kind.

we live in a world saturated with advertising and marketing and it will make a difference to present the occupations more attractively imo.

sometimes you have to play their game to beat them.
 
with sites like vistaprint, it can be affordable to make durable computer designed banners, especially with donations coming in from the general public

It's a good idea, there are some beautiful and pertinent banners up already.

The problem is that it's not a legitimate space and so it'd be a brave artist who put valuable work at risk of damage.

Not saying it can't happen... but maybe it would be interesting to see if there is mileage in setting it up in a legitimate gallery?

if we occupy the guildhall square, there is a gallery there and we could ask if we can be affiliated with them and use the inner external walls of the square to display artwork without damaging any of the walls.

they have music and events in the square too:

No reason to wait for that, really. I'd imagine there are a number of galleries locally that would be interested in a quick to construct installation that was current and on topic. Even if only for a couple of days in between paying exhibitions...
 
I think it's odd how the media complains about the camp site outside, at first the Pastor/Victor said it was o.k. and welcomes it. Slowly now "they" are saying (I'm assuming from pressure outside) saying the camp site is getting too big. Well in my eyes compare to earlier it has gotten smaller and now the "doors" are shut... :hmm: very odd then you think the place have huge doors from both north, south, east and west. Why not open one of those doors? Hmmmm.

Secondly why haven't the shut the Paternoster Square gates? They just have them silly fences in place... :hmm:

An army terrible with banners is rather less intimidating when they use semicolons.
