Police move behind the Occupy London protesters in St Paul's, London

Occupy LSX protest. Police force through to get behind the protesters on the steps of St Paul's cathedral in London, to have them surrounded from all sides. In the background you can hear a lengthy legal discussion between a protester and a police officer next to me.

what i dont understand is why St Pauls, why not some like Canary wharf or something dont you think that is a more ideal place to protest about finacial and corporate greed.

@Curt1233brit Both Canary Wharf and the square in front of the stock exchange are private property. Canary Wharf even has its own "police" force, which is actually private security, as if it were a state within a state. It would be impossible and ilegal to protest at those places. The protesters tried to protest in front of the stock exchange but the square's owners secured an injunction which closed it to the public, so the protesters had to go to the next large square, which was St Paul's.

I have been there all weekend the majority were British and As for the Graffiti. There is non on the church and all graffiti is in chalk so can be washed off.

@TheJaniemac I was both inside and outside of the police ring and though outside of it there were a lot of Spaniards for some reason, inside it seemed mostly British. But so what if they were ALL Spanish? They could teach the Brits a thing or too about protesting. Bring the French and the Greeks too.

Go up to the steps like I did this morning and check the large front doors engraved on the right hand door and on the marble on the right hand side of the door and tell me I am talking Shit.

@mcgremlin Although I totally agree with you that graffiti on the doors of Saint Paul's is 100% wrong, that is nothing compared to the job losses, home foreclosures and enslavement to student debt caused by the behaviour of the top 1%, so a little perspective is in order. You seem to have a good capacity for indignation, which is great, now you should assign it to the most worthy targets.
