“We are in total solidarity with Occupy St Pauls,” a spokesperson said. “The Occupy movement will not be stopped by this eviction.”
“We are in total solidarity with Occupy St Pauls,” a spokesperson said. “The Occupy movement will not be stopped by this eviction.”
Following a defeat in the courts, Occupy St Pauls may now be evicted any day, but Occupy Thanet say they're not giving up.
“You can't evict an idea,” the spokesperson said, “As one camp closes two will open. Occupy London members are welcome to stay with us while they re-group.”
The Occupy movement sprung up last year, when thousands of people began occupying buildings and sites all over the world as a protest against the greed and corruption which caused the financial crash of 2008.
Occupy Thanet first set up camp outside the Turner Contemporary Gallery on Friday January 27.
They claim to represent the 99% of ordinary people who are being asked to pay for the crimes of the rich and powerful 1%.
It's a leaderless movement, and all decisions are made on a strictly democratic basis.
