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?

[Brenden]

Seems like you have the "I wants" Akou, which party is it that you adhere to?

[Ankou]

nope, that list comes from occupy london themselves, not me.

i was just wondering whether it was his own ignorance or lack of understanding of the protest that leads aog to demean them so.

[Brenden]

Having read that list I have to agree with AOG.

The Bankers are always portrayed as the villains, well what do you wish them to do?
Stop lighting their big fat cigars with ten pound notes .
The taxpayers are paying for their balls ups and greed .The government may well have bailed them out but it's Joe Soap who's paying for it .
Big fat bonuses for shoving money around .It's obscene .
If I was young and fit I would go and sit outside St Pauls and wave a banner :)

shaney, to what point, many it would seem don't know what the protesters are protesting about, if you look at the placards, it's not only supposedly about corporate greed, banks, but every other subject under the sun. And as to the fact the many are whizzing across to starbucks to get their skinny lattes, and recharge their mobiles, if true, seems rather ironic, seeing how companies like starbucks are a major player in corporate terms.

What do we want the bankers to do Shaney?

Er how about taking responsibility for their own debts and financial positions for starters.

Splitting the high street banks from their derrivitive based gamling dens would mean that when it all goes pear shaped again - and it surely will - they go bust like any normal company and we don't pick up the tab!

Of course this will happen - In 8 years time!!!

That's unacceptable! - we cannot allow them to continue to hold a gun to our heads that long

[naomi24]

I'm with em on this one. It doesn't appear to be solely about bankers - it's about anti-capitalism - so what exactly do these people hope to achieve?

[emmie]

naomi, not sure myself, as we live in the capital and see this ever expanding group of people, i cannot see what the ultimate aim is. Almost as though some of the dale farm protesters have nothing better to do, so have joined in with the others, set up camp, and now like dale farm could take an age to get them out.

[naomi24]

So does anyone know what their ultimate goal is? They're anti-capitalism, so do we assume they want to live in a socialist state - or perhaps a communist one? Cor, that'd put an end to their protests!

[Messi_Ten]

The protesters won't disrupt Armistice Day, they are freedom fighters as well.

St. Pauls should open their doors and provide them with food and shelter.

[joeluke]

Hopefully London will be hit with rain of monsoon proportions and their pathetic pointless protest will be washed out

[emmie]

naomi, communism indeed, some won't see the irony of that i'm sure. Many are not peaceniks or whatever the term used, but rent a cause, and i don't know how many are specifically affected if they don't work, so don't pay tax, nor contribute in any way to society. They can protest all they like, but it won't make a jot of difference, and as a josephine londoner wonder at people who neither live in London, nor in britain, so have no clue as to how the city, that's in broad terms, works, lives, makes it's money.
There are 7 million or so in the capital, not all are greedy, corporate types, but ordindary people trying to go about their business, and it does affect other parts of the capital, its called the knock on effect.

[askyourgran]

In the north we haven't heard anything much about this protest, its just another Dale Farm#II, rentamob at it's best. I bet some of them haven't done a days honest work in their lives and claiming dole no doubt, thats anti-capitalism for you. The wish list they are putting about is something out of Cloud Cuckoo Land. They should try living in Russia.

[emmie]

they are not freedom fighters, but a rag tag of idealists, who think that waving a placard and sitting it out in a tent makes them brave, it doesn't it makes them foolish. If you want to really protest, go and invade No 10, sit outside Downing street and yell till your lungs burst at the injustices you feel strongly about. Currently Cameron is out of the country, or at least he was the last time i looked, but he will be back, suggest he, the cabinet, are a good place to start.

[Bobbisox]

if there case is hopeless and misguided EDDIE, there is no point in them continuing to be an obstruction...is there?

[Bobbisox]

<<<their>>>>>>

[jackthehat]

What do you think of the Jarrow March, bobbi?

[Bobbisox]

for hunger jth...wasn't it?
people were starving and no alternative to take to the streets , at least these protesters can go to Starbucks
