#occupy London....

[BigTom]

@occupylsx have put this photo out which they say shows that thermal imaging cameras can't see through tents - clearly in this shot it hasn't, unless the person in question is missing exactly the part of the leg behind the tent.

The first comment under it says.

Errrmmm, yes it will block the IR from the body, as is shown by this man. That is not the point though. If it is occupied it will warm up and show its own IR signature. Watch the video, occupied tents are obvious, and unoccupied tents are clear.

An occupied tent is designed to trap air so that air warms up. That tent will then show as warmer than the surroundings (not as warm as this man's body, but very distinct from the background).

Typical shite from Telegraph hack, David Hughes

They've been rumbled. It turns out that the Occupy London Stock Exchange (OccupyLSX) protesters who have settled in St Paul's Churchyard are not only not occupying the Stock Exchange – they are not even occupying their own tents. Our enterprising news reporters were there in the small hours with a thermal imaging camera and discovered that most of the tents were empty.

Why are the Met releasing and indeed revealing information on who is sleeping at OLSX, what is the purpose, it is in their remit and is it legal?

 

[krink]

i wonder if the undercover plod stay the night?

 

[shaman75]

Can't see the Telegraph vid on their site for some reason, but someone has uploaded to youtube.



I'd imagine there are some empty tents there, altho people are coming and going so they may be occupied the next day. Not much room for you to bring your own there. Besides which, why would people be presumed to be just sitting in their tent while everyone is talking/ working/ singing whatever... ?

Maybe they're all at the pub

 

[nino_savatte]

The Torygraph article is dishonest and they're looking for any excuse the smear the occupiers.

No need to reply to it

A woman from the camp told skynews that a) it was a ludicrous thing to be discussing and b) many people were still up doing stuff at that time, but ace reporter Kay Burley was having none of it.

Do you think all the tents will be full to bursting tonight?

[magneze]

Using heat sensors to see who is in a tent? Isn't that a breach of the right of privacy?

Cooor blimey Missus!!!! If that story runs there'll be a few more tents pitched around britain! PHWOAR!

 

[treelover]

I bet the tabloids are just itching for those headlines...

has anything been happening at the other camp in finsbury square?

I went there today and there seems to be an amiable atmosphere and some attempt to set up some community projects rather than just two fingers up protesting. There was talk of setting up a 'Polytentnic'/skills exchange. I hope something comes of it and more people get involved.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

It makes no difference whether the tents are empty or not...the occupation is an occupation. The opposition are clutching at straws now.

Or perhaps I missed that memo where the Official Rules of Protest were laid out in full...

 

[shaman75]

So the telegraph is owned by a pair of tax exiles eh?

 

[Will2403]

Gonna be arriving at kingsX in about a half hour.

Need a tent! A big one. Got a suitcase, rucksack and bag.

Where should I go?

 

[Orang Utan]

Get back on the train and go back and get a tent?

 

[Will2403]

If that googley eyed long haired dude can pull one of them activist bints I been reading about then I must be in wiv a shout right? And I ain't even a cop!!!

[Will2403]

All the shops r shut?!

I'm on the train and there ain't no tents on it

 

[stethoscope]

I'm sure they'll be pleased you've joined them.

 

[Will2403]

[Orang Utan]

get back on the train fella

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Decent piece on Channel 4 news just now tackling the Telegraph story about 'empty tents'.

And Mark Field MP (Conservative MP for Cities of London and Westminster) is down there telling protestors they've made their point and should now go home.

Ironically, this was then followed by a piece on the repression of protest by the Syrian Government!

 

[Will2403]

get back on the train fella

still on it :/
