Occupy London harbours political ambition

It has been months since the global Occupy movement began in New York and spread across the world.

In London, protesters are still camped out near St Paul's Cathedral in the hub of the city. Their tented compound has begun to look like a permanent fixture, even though its size has not grown.

The movement needs to gather more traction, and get more people involved. Some of the organisers have even discussed turning it into a political party.

For now, the movement's tactics remain the same, but with these new ambitions, Occupy London could soon be evolving into something else.

@Crucible0Patriot Forced to leave? Under what Authority? no Law would force me- only Acts- and i would not stand under it.

[Crucible0Patriot]

@joecalder What? "Keeping your rights"? What rights are you losing? Not handing over authority is based on laws and government yet you focus on small to mid size business as those you are harming. We as the majority get this and THIS is why all your efforts will be quickly forgotten when you are forced to leave in order for the WORKING PERSONS TAXES TO STOP FRONTING the expenses caused by you ASSHOLES! You Get That? Na you don't?????....................­..........

@Crucible0Patriot Against the 1%. Gandhi = against oppressors. Where you are perceived incoherent is the fact that this HARMS ZERO 1%ers. This alienates the small and mid size businesses. YOU IDIOTS!! How do you not get this? You are an incoherent drug induced unemployed loser attitude conglomerate. You intellectually represent the sentiment of NO ONE! Boycott Publicly Traded Companies if you want to establish a workable coalition. Not against you, but you are useless...

Disgusting one sided views. A political party?!? The Occupy movement is about keeping your rights as a Man or Woman, not handing over your authority to a another societies rules. Live by your morals because they are what is right. Common Law - The Law of the Land.

Xmas is a demonic holiday made up by the Elite for reasons other than the public is aware of. Look it up. Celebrate the Freedom of the people. DON'T BACK DOWN. MUST FINISH THIS.

Then no christmas money ...from Clintons admins & none from Bush & none from Obamas' and then ... they wondered about the Saturn Plant that had some Arabs coming out of it and they had hoped I'd go there to work...like in 1999... I did just see that Article in CNN re: Hezbollah and then of course, I had looked down & wondered what to write & saw the no. of characters left to be 199 or something like that & thus: here in 2011. Afterall, the y do want people 2 worry when elderly or old.

He led the Royal Family this way & Clintons/Bushes also came.... Of course, I did not know there were many fbi agents under investigation and hiding their own dualities regarding their preference for working 4 the fbi, family members close would work for the riches religion and stations and they would point to the former friend ..they had in 1970's high school (on up at times) and then say argue about her religion and find not out ...about us....here ...in Virginia Beach Big Show?Navytoo
