Interesting developments at Occupy London this week, first the City of London Police include them on a letter regarding terrorist activity in the city http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/dec/05/occupy-london-police-terrorism-document
...and now the lawyers for the UBS bank that they are now "squatting" (or rather turning into a community centre, art gallery, gig venue and hosting debates and talks) apparently gave them a few minutes notice to get to a hearing without even telling them where it was taking place. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/dec/06/occupy-london-legal-challenge-ubs-squat?newsfeed=true
Meanwhile, Occupy Bath have set up a People's Assembly, an "independent
democratic non-affiliated body for discussion, debate and the formulation of ideas and proposals on local, national and global issues and policies.
Its purpose is to give all people of Bath a stronger democratic voice. It invites poeple of all ages, genders, abilities, races, and religions to come and work together to put democracy into action". The first meeting was quite well attended: http://www.thisisbath.co.uk/50-plus-new-forum-Occupy-Bath-shifts-Queen-Square/story-14045534-detail/story.html

only interesting, for me, if you express an opinion...as opposed to being a ticker-tape m/c for the media...
..there's so much copying of URL's on this site...you would swear that no-one read the news!

just returned from a few days in NYC... didn't make it down to the OWS site or wall street... but there were some decidedly nervous suits in the midtown area... yesterday all arrested during the OWS protests appeared in court yesterday to receive "bench warrants" which the police commissioner's son, Greg, explained meant that they had to behave for 6 months and charges would be dropped...
to my knowledge no wall street banksters or firms have been charged with anything related to the financial corruption that has added to the economic crisis...
in other news don leon panetta head of the cia/defence department announced that my bankrupt uncle sam's army would be leaving iraq with tails tucked firmly between legs... again... no word if gw bush offered to pick up the check...

"disaster" averted @ 11th hour... literally.
Warren Buffett and Goldman-Sachs et.al. rejoice and quickly reallocate their positions in order to avoid any undue exposure to future events...
the remainder of us (average folks)... probably not so much...
