Takes horses to water but can't make donkeys drink
One down near Bank Tube, 5mins walk away. Probably the least patronised pub in the City.

Embrace the confusion!
The EDL are, amongst other things, seething jealous.

Popped up there today, numbers apparently down a bit, some St Paul's manager type getting pissed off with people and, most amusingly, a couple of guys rounding off a fairly civil and in depth discussion with a city worker with 'of course it's all the Rothschild's fault', which was a bit depressing.

Thanks btw. It's proving to be an uphill struggle to get videos of what actually happens there to be viewed at all on the fb page, in amongst zeitgeist posts, the latest update on someone sneezing on wall street and the diversions provided by trolls and the ongoing saga of St. Paul's.

Pleasant and unpatronising
In terms of duration, you have to think the St Pauls dwellers are looking at a potentially longer occupation than those (including the Urbanites) who've expanded to Finsbury Square (where ownership must be clearer).

I'll do it this afternoon
Something crops up in this that I enjoy talking about with people who say 'the media says it's all anarchists but there are pensioners, people who work, all kinds of people here" as if anarchists can't be those things. Some people are so taken by the media representation they can't even imagine anarchists have jobs, families etc.

I don't know tbh. I'm miles away and haven't been anywhere near it.

some recent tweets on the gay abandon of occupy london:
seems#occupylsx are banning alcohol and drugs from camp due to troublemakers, rather than banning said troublemakers.
Can#occupylsx actually ban drinking on a public street? Harsher laws than the govt. Hardly an exercise in creating a future better society
From what I could tell#occupylsx debate to ban drinking was more a debate on 'what to do about the homeless people here'
If you're occupying public space, then you have to deal with the public, in all shapes and forms. Blanket ban's on drink have never worked

yea, I read their debate on drugs and alcohol, it all seemed a bit alarmist to me (though i've not spent much time there tbf, perhaps they've had issues). Discretion seems obvious to me, not an outright ban, i'd want to be able to have a spliff and a bottle of vodka in my tent without being told off. It's an open occupation so deal with the public as and when a problem arises surely.

They are trying to self-police...there have been issues already and they do not want to give the police any excuses!!!

I think doing it in your tent and not annoying others would be fine...unfortunately, others have not been that responsible!

Heh! As far as I know it's not a sex free zone....YET!
I can't see it, but the times are running with a story that the police did a thermal image scan of occupylsx and 9out of 10 tents were empty. I'm thinking propaganda, anyone know what time of day they claim this was? During today's UkUncut link up if my first guess, or maybe during GA? or pure BS?

Decolonise colons!
I'm wondering what the inference of such propaganda would be. Is it that they're all secretly staying in hotels or perhaps that they've evolved some form of thermal camouflage?

It would be ironic if most there were in fact Lizards.
'André Spicer, professor of organisational behaviour at Cass Business School, said in a note this morning that bridging the gap between the two parties could potentially provide bankers with a range of ideas for new financial products and markets.
Green money and feminised finance were among a host of ideas that were suggested by Spicer to be popular among the protesters and that could potentially gain traction if bankers opened a dialogue.He said: “We all know that innovation is the crucial motor of economic development but often innovation comes from the margins. Some of the demands of the protesters include ecological sustainability, equality and an increasingly democratic financial system.'
When i studied at Uni, i was struck by how much of business and organisational studies and through them business culture had been influenced by the counter culture, now just like in the sixties academics are working out ways the new movements can benefit business though exploiting new organisational strategies, ideas, etc, even if this isn't their original intention.
