Marjorie Foyle, 89, breaks down in tears as she compares visiting St Paul's Cathedral during the blitz with visiting it now and finding it closed for worship. This is just one of the moving moments captured in Ruth Gledhill's second video blog from OccupyLSX, the anti-capitalist protest that has forced the closure of St Paul's Cathdral, London. At the end the Dean, Graeme Knowles, comments on the apparent welcome offered to the protesters by Canon Giles Fraser when the protest began over a week ago.

  • Jesus would never have supported the money lenders over the poor.

    Each one of those protesters is a modern day Jesus.

    Jesus would not have charged £16.50 to enter the Church.

    As for remembrance Sunday, those soldiers who died would be disgusted about how unfair corrupt and unequal society has become.

    If they had known this was the out come most would have throw their rifle.away.

    THEY DID NOT DIED TO SUPPORT A CORRUPT 1%

    There was no reason to close anyway, it was done to discredit protesters.

  • This protest is not anticapitalism. its anti corruption/banks/greed. Its for us to have an economy that works for the people. if u dont know how the a private corporation called the bank of england isn’t screwing us all watch the money masters on youtube and educate yourselfs for your familys, freinds and country sake

  • why choose st pauls to protest outside?

  • @TheMrcravat finger up means agree fingers down disagree (like thumbs up thumbs down)

  • Is this satire?

  • Anti-capitalist? You don't have to be anti-capitalist to be against greed and corruption, I thought that was blindingly obvious. The Church is meant to be for the people, how did Christianity start again?

  • This protest should be outside the stock exchange or bank of england but i geusse this is the closest we can get

  • Those occupying the area around St Paul's (& elsewhere) are drawing attention to things deeply wrong in our world, of which the current economic crisis is a symptom. Their presence at St Paul's offered the Dean & Chapter a chance to facilitate a debate on these issues, about which they claim concern. (And issues of 'health and safety' could have been negotiated.) But, instead, Dean Chapter have elected to side with the forces of mammon.

  • @unsystematic7 its against the NWO and illumnati secret government. Its not just the bankers. This is very one side reportin

  • @TheMrcravat o ok, they do it in usa, its an assembly thing
