I'm sure they can have stand-up washes at the sink, or revel in grime, depending on personal choices..

Hopefully this is indicative of good strategic thinking at senior levels of the movement - it certainly seems a strong move in terms of diversification and keeping one step ahead.

I have always had time for will. I think the shit he faced from some people here when he put forward a proposal re: an event in the city a few months ago was pathetic. Especially as the people who were bleating about the need to engage in endless meetings before any action were proved somewhat wrong come August!
Good to see that him about and appearing to have a good time. And guess what..being banned from U75 shouldn't mean that much.
No saying that people shouldn't be banned if they are acting as idiots.

Well, the timing in relation to Occupy Wall St was somewhat key to getting this going. I would guess that it was also called by a bunch of people with contacts with other activists (though I've never met anyone who knows quite who put out the original callout - my guess was the people who had been occupying Trafalgar Sq a few months before). I think will's attempt would have been a damp squib, which isn't to say these boards aren't full of miserable moaning old bastards who would persuade themselves to stay at home on revolution day because people with the 'wrong' ideology had called it. They are

Will is doing okay and yes he is using his time well...he is on a serious banner making mission at the moment and the results so far are really impressive. I think he posted some of his designs on one of these thread...not sure where though.

On the subject of the newly occupied Bank of Ideas:
It is really an incredible space, had a walk around/tour of it yesterday. There is access to 4 large office buildings in the complex. At present it is not clear how long it will be occupied, whether it is a temporary or permanant thing etc...but in the meantime, there are plans to use the space well.

There was a time I was anti the world and still am to a point but there comes a time in a mans life where questions need answering.
I do sympathise with the protesters but I cant help thinking that most of the people interviewed sound like they have issues. Don't get me wrong I used to sniff fixOfix back in the day and I loved me a hit off a butane gas canister. I was a social cripple and still am to some extent, I don't have many friends and I am uneducated.
However I can't see the point of stinking up private buildings or blocking the public highway.
I am sure some of the people involved are intelligent however, not very many of them look like they've ever paid a drop of tax because they are to busy sponging of the state to fund the disfunction lifestyles and are a complete waste of my taxes that I have to work hard and contribute to the "system"
I think we've got the message and I'm all for our democratic right to protest but this seems to me like a waste of time and serves no real purpose other than failures of society trying to get adulation for partaking in activities that are damaging to the economy they are complaining about putin peoples jobs in jeopordy.
As for Will, and some of the others, they look unemployable.
So the message here is go home, it's not working. Time to regroup and take a long hard look at your strategy, maybe a petition that call for debate in the commons would be a better idea.
Call me names, this is just an opinion.

Of course its well known that you can tell how much tax a person pays and their employment history just by looking at them.
But its not nearly as realiable as telling just how much of a cunt someone is by their embittered, ill-informed dribblings on the internet.

You mean the bit before is a lie and the bit after is bullshit. I appreciate that in common usage "lie" and "bullshit" are synonymous but in this case I think the difference matters.

the occupy movement isn't really about the cuts, it's about everything tbh. It's about the hold and power which is held in the hands of large businesses and the sway they have in making govermential decisions, it's about the corruption and greed of those who are supposed to be on our side and are supposed to be working for us, to make life better. But do the exact opposite. It's about all of us, who want to be able to live decent lives, to provide for our families and be able to stand proud after working hard and striving to make your life better, but get beaten down at every single turn. yes it's vague, yes there are many confilcting opinions umungst those who are out there wanting to make a difference. But that's a good thing, that's the sort of enviroment where ideas can grow and views can be discussed. This isn't 1 protest about 1 thing, this is many protests against many things. You need to look into what anon are up to, what their manifesto is, project mayhem starts soon. I'm pretty sure that the occupy movement is just the start. Watch this space, because this is far from over.
choose your side mother fucker, becasue the games have well and truly begun.

Poject mayhem? The bank of no ideas? It's all bollocks.
Nothing will change, the jackboot of democracy will continue to stamp on your face again and again and again.
It's nothing new and I hate the corporate bullshit but were forced to live under the controls of capitalism because there isn't much in the way of an alternative at the moment, we are programed to conform to it's mechanisms from the very begining. It's beyond fucked but most of us have to conform to it, it's bollocks and we're stuck with it.
The only way to attempt to bring about change is through the ballot box. Occupy need a viable political wing otherwise it's all just pie in the sky. I can't see the 1% bending in any direction other than be hell bent on keeping things the same.
I'm not saying don't make a noise about it but OL need direction and maybe the best way forward would be for them to set up a political wing and stand in an election.

It carries little weight, some dropouts dropout and occupy a few buildings that no one uses and set up a few tents which they don't even sleep in because it's cold.
I'm waiting in anticipation of Fawks Virus that'll probably send every one a picture of some gay porn.
Ddos microdross and spend the next few months waiting for their ISP to hand over the info to the feds.

Just because I'm also cynical about the movement, don't think that means I agree with you. They're not dropouts, they're well-meaning but naive people (and generally middle class). I think you should consider a little more and judge a little less.

Give it a few years and they'll be conforming properly, like good citizens, you know, once they realize that you can't beat the rich and powerful. theres just too many of the cunts flying the flag of democracy.
