In photos: Carnegie Library Occupation, Day 3. Campaigners defiant but supplies requested
 
What's the best place to get updates on what supplies are needed?

Will try and get along tomorrow if they need anything.

During the rally today they said they were mostly good for food (although please don't take my word for that) but they would like musicians, their instruments and candles for the candlelit vigils planned for 7pm each night. I will head down at some point tomorrow so if anything else comes up I'll add a post then.

Great pictures in the buzz article and great to have the DH crowd bringing new energy as it started to drizzle.

Charming comments from Matthew Bennett on their twitter.

He's unbelievable.

He accused occupiers of having a jolly while there were 5000 homeless households in TA. Apart from being irrelevant, its a bit ironic that the local Labour PArty is tomorrow night having its Constituency GAla Dinner tomorrow (4 April) evening, tickets priced at £49.20, free drinks on arrival. I don't think that money is going to help the homeless - into the election coffers. If anyone feels like showing some support for our wonderful coundillors and ruling party, the dinner is 7.00 for 7.30, Olivettis Restarant, 17 Lordship Lane

Has anyone asked him if he's going on Twitter?
 
Took some food up today.

Here are some of the photos. There was a good atmosphere. Children singing and a lot of people driving by honking horns in support.

Quite apart from the travesty that the whole thing is - what a massive logistical cock up. Shutting the library, in the middle of the school Easter holidays. If they go in with an injunction tomorrow and try to evict people - who will be they be evicting? People with babies, older people - probably many retired. Mothers/fathers with children. There are a fair few school age children in there - who don't need to be at school for these two weeks. Couple that with pictures of babies behind bars clutching them from inside - all this must be a huge embarrassment to Lambeth. Topped by snide and nasty tweets from their own councillors. Shame on them and massive kudos to all the protesters.

I saw the twitter thing earlier but I don't know Twitter - I have an account but no clue really.

eta - I'll give it a go... :eek::D

eta again - I think I've done it but not sure how I'll see a reply.
 
We brought home made flapjacks, orange juice, ginger beer, fresh fruit (which they didn't want), toothpaste and soap. The latter we got on the way after reading this thread.

I'll tweet before we leave tomorrow, and post their response here.

ok thanks. I may be there before you - if we go it will be in the morning. So I might just go and ask them and then go shopping based on that. I hope they still have lots of supporters tomorrow.
