Where did you read that?
 
Mild winter (so far!) must have gone down well :)

Reading between the lines, Islington is going to let them be - and for the long-ish term:
An Islington Council spokesman said: “We support the right to peaceful protest, but this has to be balanced with the needs of our community, which is among the most deprived in England.
“The protesters have no permission to be in the square. At a time of huge Government cuts to our budget we are very reluctant to waste vital money on expensive legal action, but have not ruled it out.”

you sure, it keeps on about the tents outside St Pauls, and that they are going to have to go. They've got 7 days to appeal. Might be an idea to pack up a day before maybe, to show good faith. And then BLAM, the next wave (spring time?) can be much bigger. Although I believe that they should be allowed to stay and protest for aslong as they like, I just think it might be a good idea to re-group.
 
Occupy London protesters to appeal against eviction ruling

City of London Corporation wins high court case to remove protest camp from St Paul's churchyard

The ruling was greeted with dismay by Dr Giles Fraser, who resigned as canon chancellor of St Paul's rather than see the protesters evicted by force, and who was in a packed court 25 at the Royal Courts of Justice to hear the judgment.
In a statement he said: "This judgment is disappointing. In a world where there is such a gap between rich and poor, the voice of protest needs continually to be heard. The church must not be seen to side with the 1% rather than the 99%."
