#OccupyLSX Updates Thurs 20th Oct

21-10-2011 00:55

Some updates from OccupyLSX (see also Indymedia feature + occupylondon wire)

In general the occupation has grown very well with something like way over 300 tents now. NB The space is getting pretty crowded now, so please contact the Shelter working group if you want to bring a tent - some tents are free - pls don't just set up a tent now anywhere you like.

There's an outreach event planned for 11am Saturday - "Meet the movement" type thing. The media re invited to come along and meet the different working groups, visit the kitchen, have a tour of the site etc This is the proposal presented to the General Assembly, and formulated by several working groups in discussion this morning and at the lunchtime assembly.

The afternoon General Assemly on sat is planned to be at midday (scheduled wedding pending) and to be a Public Assembly, starting with updates from news from the occupy movement, from the uk and the world - from the international movement.

Then the idea is to have personal testimonies from activists involved in setting up the OccupyLSX camp and the working groups. 

We're also inviting testimonies from social justice movements outside occupation to show solidarity and the links, with people from or involved in:

- Occupy halfterm - a group from cambs planning an occupation during school half term

- A banker who has been sleeping here

- Electricians involved in dispute and strikes and action like the recent Blackfriars blockade

- Disablbed people's alliance against cuts (who are marching on saturday) and involved with atos office occupations

- Dalefarm - after the evictions

- Single mothers self defence campaigning 

- Tottenham defene campaign 

- Jodie McIntyre

- Queer resistance

- Women of colour

- Student occupations

- Polly Toynbee 

The tent city university group is holding daily lecturesd and discussion - this Saturday there's a panel on systemic change and pragmatic ways to bring about change. If you have ideas for workshops email tentcityuniversity@gmail.com

The last two days has seen people from OccupyLSX linking up with the electricians who blockaded Blackfriars station site and protesting at mining company BHP Billitons annual general meeting.

There's been some hassle from the police in terms of health and safety regarding fuel for generators and kitchens and people have expressed concern over police Forward Intelligence Teams photographing and filming people in meetings.

In terms of communication there are plans to schedule specific coverage for the video livestream and to ensure that the main minutes from working groups and assemblies are published quickly.

Interview extracts from wednesday: So what's happening next?

 

There's some specific things we've got planned.

We've begun a daily lecture series chaired by university lecturers, authors and activists.

Tomorrow we are marching to protest a meeting of large mining company executives in solidarity with the victims who have been displaced by large-scale mining projects in South America.

On Saturday we've planned a rally called "Occupy London, Occupy World" to invite members of the public and community groups to speak out about their lives under austerity. It will also be an opportunity to stand in solidarity with all the occupations around the world and share experiences and new insights.

We're thinking more and more about our strategy. We feel like we're reaching out to the British people - to let them know that their experiences are mutual, that we are the majority, and that there are alternatives - but we're being pragmatic about how we might hold "the system" to account and to meet people's needs.

From reading about other social movements we know that organized people are the only way to create and safeguard our freedoms. The suffragettes and the civil rights movement showed how people don't get the things they need simply by asking the government nicely. Pressure has to be applied and we are a part of a new struggle to create a more civilised society.

I think we should take the following strategy very seriously. For our demands to be met, we have to make the costs to the government of not implementing humane and social policies so high that they are forced to concede. This is the only way we will tackle the power of the multinational corporations.

Hannah:

The first thing to say is that he next move depends on what we as a collective occupation decide to do. and where we decide to take the occupation, where we decide to go next. we don't have a pre-prepared plan, because we are building the direct democracy which allows us to take decisions collectively. I personally would agree with you that it would be great to keep dynamic and doing new things which reflects the newness and the excitement of what we're doing here. There have been loads and loads of ideas about what to do next. At the General Assembly last night about 300 people broke into small groups and shared ideas about things that we could do. These include: direct action, further connections with other grassroots groups and political struggles, e.g. this morning we connected up with the electricians who are currently striking over conditions, this hasn't been reported much in the media and we hope to use the momentum we do have now to make the connection with more working people who are suffering under the current system.

We'd love to hear your ideas, also would like to point out that although it's really great having media coverage, so others of the 99% can hear about what we're doing, we are not thinking primarily about if the papers want to cover us, but want to concentrate on working together collectively to build processes for ways of making the world better.

Occupy Nottingham: Day 6

20-10-2011 22:55

The occupation of Nottingham's Market Square is now into its sixth day.

I wandered along briefly around 9pm. Not much was going on and occupiers and supporters were milling around chatting.

I understand a representative of the city council has been back today, but the authorities are still taking a relatively hands-off approach and a police van drove past, showing no interest in the camp, while I was there.

World Class Ecocriminals: BHP Billiton AGM Protest

20-10-2011 22:55

Dateline: OccupyLSX to BHP Billiton AGM, QE2 Conference Centre, London, UK, 09:30-12:15, Thu 20 Oct 2011 – On what may be #OccupyLSX’s first off-site protest action, this morning a contingent of Occupy London campers and supporters marched the two miles from our St Paul’s encampment to the QE2 Conference Centre, just west of Parliament Square – wherein the profit-at-any-cost shareholder ecocriminals of BHP Billiton, our home world’s largest mining company, were holding their Annual General Meeting beanfeast. At the CONFRONT BHP BILLITON public protest, we made sure their intolerably rapacious treatment of indiginous peoples and planetary ecosystems the world around was roundly exposed and vigorously condemned.

The preceding evening, at a shocking and informative BHP Billiton Teach-In, the gross global extent of this mega-corporation's ecocrimes against people and planet were detailed and discussed. For the full low-down on just how dirty and low down BHP Billiton really are, please see the international network website:

Dalefarm: “you can’t take away our dignity"

20-10-2011 18:55

Mass Dale Farm walkout: “you can’t take away our dignity”

At 4.45 pm today, Dale Farm residents and supporters jointly walked off the site to begin the next stage of the battle against eviction which has been waged across courts, barricades and protests. The decision to leave together was made in order to show the unity of the residents and supporters after two months of supporter presence at Dale Farm through Camp Constant.

Resident Mary Sheridan said, “Leaving with supporters today is about our own dignity and our appreciation of the support we’ve received. We’re leaving together as one family, and we are proud of that- you can’t take away our dignity”.

The mass walk-out leaves the site free of people except legal observers, who are required to make sure that the bailiffs stick to the letter of the law in leaving the walls, fences and most of the hardstanding in place.

Now the Travellers are outside the Dale Farm site, the legacy of Tory Councillor Tony Ball and local MP John Baron who drove the forced eviction to conclusion is laid bare. Where will these families go? How will their needs be met? The Travellers’ and supporters’ next move remains to be decided. Mr Ball and Mr Baron have declined to respond when asked for advice on what the Dale Farm community should do now.

Ali Saunders, a Dale Farm supporter added, “We have held off eviction for over a month, and our sense of togetherness has been amazing. Anyone who has visited the community cannot fail to see the importance of a movement to promote the rights of Travellers. Dale Farm will have a legacy for years to come.”

A new group, the Traveller Solidarity Network [1], has emerged in recent weeks, in response to the Dale Farm crisis.

Ali Saunders continued, “The Dale Farm forced eviction showed that the UK’s reputation for tolerance is a smokescreen for systematic discrimination against a Travellers because of their ethnicity and culture. That’s why groups from Amnesty International to the United Nations opposed the forced eviction.

Dale Farm has brought the ingrained prejudice against Travellers into public view, from constant rejections of planning permission, to hostile local authorities, to violent evictions. The true long-term impact of Dale Farm will be a movement of travellers and supporters to change attitudes so travelling people can live in peace and not be criminalised.”

Nottingham Occupation Continues

19-10-2011 20:55

Despite the Despite the wind, cold and rain, the Occupy Nottingham camp on Market Square is still going strong five days in, if anything it is actually getting bigger. Support from the public has been phenomenal, but the city coucil are now beginning to make the first noises about the possibility of moving (although not removing) the camp. A wishlist has been produced of things which would be useful.

On the newswire: Occupy Nottingham interview | Occupy Nottingham: Day 5 | Nottingham Occupy @ Market Square Day 2 Sunday | Nottingham Occupy 4 Market Square | Nottingham Occupy 3 Uncut Tour | Occupy Nottingham: Day 4 | Nottingham Occupy 2 The Rally | Nottingham Occupy 1 The March | Support your local occupation!

Previous feature: Nottingham is occupied

Although there was a slight drop-off of people after the initial surge over the weekend, numbers now seem to be growing. On day 5 there are now around 15 tents, a gazebo and a marquee.

Support from the public has been astonishing with donations of money, food clothing, blankets etc. all being gratefully received. So far the police have largely left the occupation alone, indeed some occupiers have gone so far as to suggest the police are actually offering their support.

Occupy Nottingham: Day 5

19-10-2011 18:55

Five days into the occupation of Market Square and the protest camp is still going strong, but the city council has begun to make noises about moving the camp.

While, I missed the inception of the occupation over the weekend and can't comment on it's size then, when I wandered along today (Wednesday 19th October), it was my third visit and the camp has got bigger each time. There are now around 15 tents along with a marquee and a gazebo.

Passers-by continue to be astonishingly supportive - while I was there, one person in a suit turned up with a bag full of chips. The city council, however, are not so happy.

When I arrived, a small group of occupiers was talking to a liason from the council. It emerged that (unsurprisingly) there are a number of events planned in the square, first a food market and then this year's Game City. The council asked that people moved, although they claimed that the occupiers didn't need to leave the square entirely.

Apparently, most of Market Square (except for two strips which are public rights of way) is owned by a company called the "City of Nottingham" (although I couldn't find this in the Companies House database) and consequently "private property" on which the occupiers are "trespassing."

The council's request precipitated an extensive discussion amongst occupiers and supporters which wasn't resolved when I left. There was much talk about the specific nuances of the law of trespass, although I suspect this will all be moot if (when?) the council send in the police or private security.

Whatever happens, the occupation is clearly going to need people's continued support. The occupiers have produced a wishlist of things that would be useful. If you haven't been down to visit them already, do and if you have been, consider going again.

Sparks blockade Blackfriars station site

19-10-2011 12:55

Hundreds of sparks and supporters have blockaded the gates to the Blackfriars station construction site in London this morning, in the latest protest against plans by seven employers to impose new contracts which would downgrade safety and skill levels and downgrade pay for electricians by more than 30% They were also supported by people from OccupyLSX, before marching to the occupation site outside St Paul's cathedral. A national day of action has also been called for 9 November.

Balfour Beatty, who run the Blackfriars construction project, are not only the driving force behind the 35% pay cut and withdrawal from the JIB National Agreement. They are also one of the main culprits in the blacklisting of construction workers for taking part in trade union activities. Other employers are Bailey Building Services, Tommy Clarke, Crown House Technologies, Gratte Brothers, SES and Spie Matthew Hall.

Dale Farm eviction "will weigh heavily on Britain"

19-10-2011 07:05

Burning Barricade via Fitwatcher
Eviction described as brutal and illegal by human rights observers

Early this morning riot police and bailiffs stormed the Dale Farm community in a dawn raid. Police violated the court order and used sledgehammers to smash through the walls of a fully legal plot on the site in order to force entry. Human rights observers reported several injuries of residents and supporters from police action as they forced their way onto site.

Police are using tasers on those protesting the eviction.
Residents and supporters remain inside the site, many locked on to blockades and caravans together in order to resist the eviction. Police breached the perimeter to initiate the eviction.

Nottingham Occupy @ Market Square Day 2 Sunday

19-10-2011 00:55

Sunday 16th October 2011

Having camped overnight people are intending to stay as long as they can. The occupation is part of a worldwide movement of occupations that began, in Britain, on 15th Oct. 



The occupation showed solidarity with youths from the Jarrow March 2011 who rallied in Nottingham on Saturday as part of their journey to London to demand decent employment.

On Sunday, capitalism "cocked a snoot" by parking two Rolls Royces, right next to the protestors camp!  I know it was part of a wedding exhibition but I was struck by the symbolism of this gesture :-)

There was however, a counter-balance to this imagery .... by the arrival of Robin Hood and Maid Marion.  As we all know, Mr Hood was quite in favour of a bit of re-ditribution of wealth .... and hence fitted in just fine there.  Welcome ...

As of writing, the temperature is dropping.  BUT ..... people are still arriving.  Passers by are showing interest and donations of food and kit being received. 

*****

Occupy Nottingham

Part of a global movement in solidarity with other occupations across the globe.

We aim to occupy the Market Square Area of Nottingham from Saturday 15th October 2011 as part of an ongoing non-violent/peaceful demonstration.

Broadly speaking, we aim to show that we will no longer tolerate the corporate greed and Government corruption that threatens our way of life and everything we work for.

Currently our government strips away our civil liberties and public services, all in the name of greater profit for banks & corporations who exert far too much influence and control over our supposed leaders.

We want to encourage and inspire people to work together towards a fairer society for all, rather than the current system where the rich few get richer and the rest of us get left behind.

Ways you can help

Join us in our occupation

Tell friends and family about the movement

Donate food, water, clothing, blankets, tents, anything that will make our stay more comfortable - winter is coming! [See wishlist below]

#OccupyLSX - Day Three Report + 53 QuikPix

18-10-2011 10:55

#OccupyLSX - Day Three Report + 53 QuikPix

 

Dateline: The London Occupation, West Courtyard, St Paul's Cathedral, London, UK, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 17:00-18:30 - Since even the mainstream media have been full of reports all weekend about the global ubiquity and huge scale of the #OccupyTogether uprisings, I really didn't need much of a push to carry me back to the site of Saturday's successful #OccupyLondon General Assembly (see '#OccupyLSX - Day One Report + 75 QuikPix'). So when the call came in for some serious speech amplification, I charged up, labelled up, and delivered my 70Wrms street sound system to the newly erected Media/Tech hub in their Big Blue Tunnel, the better to facilitate communication and consensus decision-making during General Assemblies (which role it fulfilled so well on during Saturday's Occupation creation events). From an amorphous and homogenous sea of citizens two days ago, the London Occupation has transformed itself into a well-structured intentional community encampment, as you can see for yourself in the following photographs.



WITH “GOD” ON OUR SIDE

As a militant atheist (and part-time worshipper of the One True Trinity of the Aten, Ceiling Cat, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster ;-), I fully failed to anticipate how fortuitously world-changing events can gain the benefit of having God on our side. Since the panicked revocation of public access to the pubic space of Paternoster Square, where resides the much loathed London Stock Exchange (target of the London Occupation), we citizens choose instead to hold our General Assembly next door, on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral. One of twelve the working groups our people's assembly decided to create was tasked with liaison with the folk of the Cathedral, and boy has that paid off big time: on Sunday morning, the Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, Dr Giles Fraser, spoke to the citizens of the London Occupation.

“People have a right to protest and it's been very good natured. Church went down well this morning. There were no problems. We had no problems getting people in. People were very helpful. I haven’t seen any trouble. I understood there might have been some, but I haven’t seen any trouble. The police were trying to protect the building for us, which was very good of them. Earlier this morning I asked them if they’d leave, because I didn’t feel that it needed that sort of protection. We'll see how it goes. We're taking one day at a time, and it's really good to see it's all worked out well for us today.”

~ Dr Giles Fraser, Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral

 

VOX POPULI

“The reverend came out this morning and asked the police to leave the steps of the cathedral, and said he didn't mind protesters being here, that he supported the democratic right to protest. He said there was no issue and that people were treating the site respectfully, and he was happy for it to carry on. He was asked if the services would still be carrying on and he said yes, they would carry on as if there was no problem happening. The response from protesters was very positive - everybody likes to feel that the community around us are helping out.”

~ Ben Doran, 21, music student from the Midlands

 

“I’m here today because I can’t see why you wouldn’t be, and I feel that this is one of the few moments in history where it’s not a protest, it’s an actual movement that’s taken root. We’re trying to challenge this myth that there are not enough resources to go around.”

~ Lorena Fentes, 27, charity worker, hailing from Vancouver, Canada

 

“We want as many occupations as possible, to spread the message that we can make a change. We’re peaceful and very organised.”

~ Tarek Von Bergmann, 36, German chef, Swindon

 

“I’m sick of talking about the state of the country, so I thought I’d do something about it.”

~ John Dean, 21, chef, Milton Keynes

 

“I was made redundant two months ago. I’ve come to show my anger at the Government about bank bailouts and not helping the people.”

~ Tristan Woodwards, 28, ex-IT support worker, Basingstoke, Hampshire

 

“Inflation is growing, prices are going up, but my income is not only frozen but going down. There’s a minority causing these problems for the majority.”

~ Virginia Lopez Calvo, 30, women’s rights worker, from Hackney, East London

 

“I lost my job in April because of the cuts. But now I’ve got the best view in England from my tent. I could stay here for ever.”

~ Carl Buckland, 51, social worker, Hastings, East Sussex

 

GRATITUDE DUE, FOR FRIENDLY FESTIVAL ATMOSPHERE

We're very grateful to Dr Giles Fraser and the folk of the Cathedral for their amicable pro-democracy intervention. By dismissing the intimidatory police presence as unnecessary, they’ve help to ensure that the atmosphere of the London Occupation is dramatically improved, now resembling that of joyful free festival of music, poetry, revolutionary ideas, and world-changing direct democracy. Now that we're no longer hemmed in by a gang of armed-&-armoured thugs in uniform, in the pay of the 1% plutocrats, interfering with our fundamental human right to Freedom of Assembly, we 99% citizens of the Occupation and our visitors can move around freely, free from the obstructive intimidation of the rozzers.

Do please come on down to the London Occupation, for just an hour, or a day, or a week, or as long as it takes. You can discover for yourself how powerful it feels to begin giving up illusions in bourgeois representative democracy, while starting to exercise your political power DIRECTLY, in concert with other citizens of the Occupation. Once we've re-discovered how to govern ourselves - through the direct democracy of our General Assemblies - we'll be able to withdraw our consent from the corrupt and corrupting Parliament, by which the 1% capitalist plutocrats lord it over us, and enjoy the spectacle of the Palace of Westminster collapsing like a house of cards in a direct democracy earthquake.

Before visiting or joining the London Occupation, please take a look at its collective needs and wants, and see if there are practical and material ways in which you could deliver your support too:

We need supporters to come down as soon as possible to help resist this eviction. We need people to come willing to engage in civil disobedience as well as support residents and activists in resisting the eviction through non-arrestable roles.
