October 2011
Contrary to what is reported in the press the number of people camped in the shadow of St.Paul’s is not dwindling. More people come each day and arrive to a highly organised camp complete with a media centre, a library and a canteen rammed with donated food.

the temperature has dropped dramatically in the last few days. When I got there it was early morning and people sat in the mouths of their tents warming their hands on cups of tea as a constant stream of city workes flowed past on their way to the office.

The press and outside world seem impatient to find out what these people want, be it a list of demands or a solution to the situation they protest against. But non is delivered, those things are all still to be decided and at the moment they are just happy to jointly say no. How long the will be allowed to stay there is unclear but from the people I met they’re determined to stay as long as it takes.
