I wonder if a Mosque would be forced to close, because of EDL protesters?

I think the police would soon move them on.

Someone will buy it and turn it into a Charity Shop, probably make more money that way

The people outside St Pauls have had their fun, now should be long gone. It's an eyesore, and does indeed stop the worshippers, tourists, clergy going about their business. I suspect there have been incidences when mosques were closed when the National Front or whichever band came marching by.
These people aren't protesting about religion, culture, but anti capitalism.

[Kayless]

The ironic thing is that the reason most of this lowlife scum can demonstrate is capitalism!

[Ankou]

st pauls to close its doors? big deal.

[emmie]

conveniently forgetting that this is what makes the world turn round, without money, however much, you won't, don't get far. I am see their point of view, but they have interferred with the running of St Paul's, which has had to close, not seen since the second world war.

[Maydup]

I'm not sure why they ended up outside St Pauls. Surely they intended to distrupt the bankers and financial institutions rather than the church?

I see no link with EDL protesters outside a mosque and these campers at St Pauls.

[emmie]

Maidup i thought so too, perhaps they just wanted to have a go at all the suits who work in the area, believing them to be responsible for the mess we are in. Perhaps they should be camped near No 10, or one of Blair's homes.

[emmie]

well they are camped out in their little tents, the sort that you take to Glastonbury... perhaps if some buskers come out they could have a party.

[Ankou]

presumably they are on paternosteer square which is where st pauls is and the london stock exchange. they aint no crazy fools.

[Brenden]

Just work shy by the looks of it Ankou

[Ankou]

students you mean ?

[Brenden]

They are certainly not all students - unless you mean mature students

[emmie]

not by the looks of many, perhaps some are the riff raff that have found a new cause after dale farm.

[Ankou]

well if they are acting like grown ups.....

it is possible they are also protesting at the price of entry to st pauls. a £15 per adult thats daylight robbery.

[ummmm]

Really Ankou? £15 to go into a church....wow.

[emmie]

ankou, i doubt that many have ever been inside, no matter what it costs.
And they are camped by the steps of St Pauls, perhaps they are waiting for divine intervention.

[Ankou]

only the first bit. to go all the way you have to pay for extras, and that aint no joke.

[ummmm]

Maybe you're right then Ankou and St Pauls is where the protesters should be. A church, for gods sake!!
