London joins the protest
Thursday, October 20th, 2011The usually spit-and-polish financial district of London looked like a holiday campsite. Tents are put up by the anti-capitalist activists who declared to stay there until their message was heeded. They are fighting against “corporate greed.”
The protest began on Saturday with a big rally outside the London Stock Exchange. This protest is part of a global movement against rampant capitalism. The protestors slept in tents outside the St Paul’s Cathedral.
As the police tried to clear the protestors from the cathedral, Dr Fraser supported the protestors saying that it has been a very peaceful protest and they have the right to protest peacefully.
One protestor has said that the corporations have basically infiltrated the government and the way they make policy. Organizers are expecting the number of protestors to grow as it had grown in the New York’s “Occupy Wall Street.”
