Occupy London LSX. St Pauls occupation, protesters sit among the tents outside the 'tent city university' holding a discussion.
After the initial 'Occupation of Wall Street' protest other occupations have occurred around the world in solidarity expressing opposition to government cuts and subsidy of bankers at the expense of public services. On Saturday 15th October an attempted occupation outside the London Stock Exchange, Paternoster Square, was thwarted and an occupation in the grounds of St Pauls Cathedral was started with protesters saying they will stay until Christmas. An organised camp of small tents with communal kitchen, library, teaching rooms etc has been set up. Meetings of protesters occur regularly to discuss the general political and economic situation, to decide policy for the occupation of the site and issues arising from the occupation, and sometimes guest speakers hold discussions as part of the tent city university.
