What will happen to the Anti Capitalism protesters when it comes to the Armistice Day Parade on November 13th?

[Bobbisox]

They say they will stay till Christmas. I wonder if the parade can go ahead now?
Should they be "forced out" now?
if so, how could this be be enforced,
The Bankers don't give a stuff that these people are protesting !, and what have they achieved by it?

[Barmaid]

As to whether they can be forced out, it is a tricky one. Some are on public land and some are on land owned by St Pauls. If St Pauls were that bothered, they could have called the police immediately and then applied to the Court for an eviction order. Instead they have taken this rather curious step of letting them remain and closing their doors.

I support their right to protest and although I think the protest is pointless, it doesn't mean they have any less of a right. If demonstrations and protests were allowed to continue or were stopped on the grounds that someone somewhere thinks the cause is pointless, we are heading down the slippery slope to removing freedom of speech and imposing censorship.

St Pauls can take legal action and it won't cost an arm and a leg either. They have chosen to take a different route, for what reason I know not.

Ed from the bbc

>> "Over the past 48 hours, we have completely reorganised the camp in response to feedback from the fire brigade and we have also accepted the presence of two large barriers to preserve access to the side door of the Cathedral.

"This afternoon we have been told, in a telephone call, by the fire brigade, that they have not issued any new requirements above and beyond those already communicated directly to the camp. Therefore, there are no outstanding fire safety issues." <<

[jackthehat]

Right.
So the Dean chose to close the doors for the reasons as supplied by Trim.
It seems the Fire officers are happy now that they have mitigated the risk of fire.....but the Dean is not.

So that you don't have to repeat yourself bobbi could you just point me to where you <<< have tried hard to get my pov ED >>>.

Thanks.

ummmm i spent more than that on my cats

[Sqad]

ummmm....yes....I could....but the question was on £20 a week was there any need for a child to go to school on an empty stomach?

Mrs sqad says that she could as she buys raw materials and cooks.........this is not often done now.

I find difficulty in believing that a child has to go to school without breakfast on £20 a week.

[DrFilth]

sqad is that spanish food prices or english food prices she is working on

[Bobbisox]

No jth...I would find it a pointless exercise to be honest
in fact I am starting to believe Communism may be the way forward..haha

I accept defeat graciously..although I won't be changing my mind

[Sqad]

DrFilth.......both.

[ummmm]

A child and an adult...that's two people Sqad. Two people who need feeding twice a day.

Now....what about other things to come out of that budget? Soap, shampoo....washing up liquid, deodorant. All essential, I'm sure you'll agree? So they are now left with app £10 for two people.

[jackthehat]

Somehow I didn't think you'd be able to, bobbi.

[Bobbisox]

ohhh is that you feeling all smug now jack,,;o)))

[Ankou]

ok so i have read the pages and pages of drivel, with the usual dancing around.

can those who claim the protest is pointless because you don't understand what they are protesting about/is pointless, and therefore insist they should be forced to get lost.....

please explain why peaceful protestors should be forced to move, because you don't understand their message ?

[Sqad]

Dr Fith wasn't talking about anything other than.......Breakfast.

There is a thread on News running parallel to this headed "Returning to Dickensian poverty"

[Bobbisox]

if it's drivel Ankou...don't read it ..rule of thumb

[Sqad]

Ankou....some do and some don't understand their message and this is unlikely to change with time.

There comes a time when we must all move on.........even the protesters.

[Bobbisox]

I have given the reasons above Trigg and they have been counter debated, great, no problems there, I can't see the point of me giving anymore than I have...which is drivel according to some :-)
I accept defeat. you want blood..LOL

[jackthehat]

Smug? No, bobbi.

A little disappointed? Certainly. I thought that as you set up this thread you would, at least, reveal your 'POV' but it seems that despite our best efforts you decline to explain quite why you feel that they should move on.

Still, I'm sure that the intellectual stretching exercises will have done some good...

[Bobbisox]

Still, I'm sure that the intellectual stretching exercises will have done some good..

hahaha, I like it jack, even though I can taste a bit of irony in there..:-))

[DrFilth]

sqad from out £20 a week you could feed him 2 meals and a supper and 3 meals at weekend.
that is less than £3 a day to spend on his food
