#occupy London....

If someone is drunk and annoying it is perfectly reasonable to remind them of the fact.

Demonising people isn't reasonable though.

I fully support occupations having no drinking policies.

Having non-enforced decisions that nasty people aren't allowed to be there because they are "pissheads" and then thinking that "no pisshead" policies will be effective are bullshit.
 
I dont think they should be banned, just makes me wonder what sort of movement is being built. One that a lot of people might struggle to engage with, I suspect.

As for joining exeter occupy, I live in berkshire...
 
ffs... i have well being procastraniting (sp)
for piss head lets use one of our street folk.....
if there any folk here involved with #camps msg me........
 
The logic is that they should be - you know, recognise it before it manifests itself.

Not sure what you are driving at entirely. Maybe it doesn't matter. I am interested to know good ideas you may have surrounding the handling of vulnerable, aggressive and drunk people by a movement which is principally open and inclusive while attempting to be attractive to as broad a spectrum of the public as possible.
 
Are you ready for the second part of our Re-Thinking Human Rights Weekend? SUNDAY, 11th December at OccupyLondon (2:00pm-7:00pm, at Tent City University, St Paul's Cathedral).

What will a democratic global system look like? (2:00pm to 3:30pm)

How can activists and civil society create a democratic system? (4:00pm to 5:30pm)

Whose rights are human rights? How are they used? Is it feasible to universalize such a concept? (5:30pm-7:00pm)
 


I'm pleased that people are learning the song which he sings at 4:15, World Turned Upside Down (by Leon Rosselson, also sang it at Occupy LSX), it is the song of the movement :cool:
 
Can't listen to the audio at work - what's the basis of the action?
Dan is part of 3 parties taking on the City of London Corporation who are trying to evict the occupiers of St Pauls. He is a litigant and representing himself, therefore is liable to court costs if he loses, which could increase into many tens of thousands of pounds!

can't make up my mind about Jesse Jackson, he sacrificed a lot to follow the path he has took, but some of his ideas seem to promote entrepreneurial capitalism...
 
Hopefully this is a relevant rant, Mark talking about happiness. He supports the occupations though they aren't central to this particular contribution.

 
It seems Occupy Lsx may be picking up their tents and leaving, personally i think they did good, tens of thousands of people have passed through the camp, taking on ideas, etc..
 
only seen that from a couple of sources, bit weird not seeing it at least mentioned or discussed from other people/sites
 
Front page of tomorrows independent apparently? I do know the small Occupy Leicester have packed up and relocated today, to a city centre building. The critics will scoff but i can't blame anyone for seeking shelter.
 
The OccupyLSX site and Twitter stream say there's been discussion of various options and offers, but no decision as yet, and none of the proposals is about "an end to the occupation" - there will still be plenty of people there. Even the actual text of the Indie's piece doesn't support the headline at all.
 
Occupy London to put the one per cent on trial as it brings abandoned court back to life

Posted on December 20, 2011 by occupylsx

As Occupy London Stock Exchange occupation prepares to present its case at the High Court today, Occupy London supporters have liberated a disused court house – Old Street Magistrate’s Court – in London‘s East End alongside a group of military veterans, Occupy Veterans.
The opening of Occupy London’s fourth occupation, will see the movement conducting “trials of the one per cent” in the abandoned magistrate’s court building which has lain empty since 1996, despite its prime location and grade II listing.
More information about this abandoned magistrate’s court can be found at http://www.mpa.gov.uk/committees/mpa/2005/050224/10/.
To the one per cent – see you soon at Occupy Justice, formerly Old Street Magistrate’s Court, Old Street London EC1.


:cool:
