					<description><![CDATA[I admire the gentle author&#039;s dedication to recording event&#039;s around his home ground. The photography is of a high-quality.

I was a press officer for the Occupation of the London Stock Exchange however I left the Occupy movement mid-January and only now have returned to the matters raised. I am in the dark as to the outcome of the legal battle in the High Court and subsequent events. 

There is an irony to the protest at St Paul&#039;s and the sister site at Finsbury Square those familar with the McLibel case would raise an eyebrow, for it is my belief that at, at least one occasion, there more agent provocateurs in the employ of Big Business than genuine campers protesting on the Common Groud adjacent to St Paul&#039;s Cathedral.

Private eyes never had it so good.

I as a press officer, of course, came to the attention of Special Branch, that is Britain&#039;s political police force and I don&#039;t know who but someone paid for the services of a commerical sex worker, however I had the strength of character to decline offers of free alcohol and drugs. 

But thru (I am aware this is the American spelling) it all I never once let my editorial standards drop. 

I would be most grateful if I could be supplied an update to events around St Paul&#039;s and futher afield.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jim, I don&#039;t think the Cathedral is &#039;part of the problem with our society&#039;. It&#039;s part of the history &#038; fabric of our city as well as a place of great beauty.  I&#039;ve been seeing various opinions on message boards criticising the CofE as seeing it merely as a &#039;cash cow&#039;.  Yet it costs around£20,000 a day simply to maintain. The protest was not originally aimed at the Cathedral but it&#039;s sadly affected its day to day running; not the intention of the protesters I&#039;m sure. It would be a shame if the scope of the protest was now extended to include it when it&#039;s done you no harm.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Now their profits are being hit, the Canon of St Paul&#039;s has announced they must shut St Paul&#039;s. Their excuse is Health and Safety. There has been no consultation with the protesters regarding the Cathedral&#039;s need to close. The protesters have accommodated the needs of the Cathedral to the best of their ability and have requested many times for dialogue with the Canon and his minions to discuss their concerns,  the Canon of St Paul&#039;s has not responded. I and no doubt other were  delighted when Canon Giles Fraser came out of St Paul’s to announce that the protester could stay. Now I see the church is part of the problem with our society... shame on them.]]></description>

I hope and pray it has the same effect. Good on them.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The irony is that, having welcomed the camp enthusiastically, St Paul&#039;s now finds its visitors &amp; income has dropped by half or more &amp; I believe has had to close the restaurant for now. Perhaps those of us who are local &amp; have some time &amp; solidarity to spare could visit both the camp &amp; the cathedral?]]></description>
