People did go down to both St Paul’s and Finsbury to let people know and spread the word.

Big Society (ska/punk/folk) of Oxford should be checked out on above website or Bandcamp.
Tommo of Big Society would have some interesting views on Occupy movement world wide!! How about someone video interview him?

As an occupier on the FRONT LINE at St Paul’s from day one I have to say how utterly disappointed I and my fellow occupiers are that we were neither told about this event nor invited. You say these groups turned out to say thank you to the occupiers but yet they played at the Bank of Ego’s to a minority WHO DON’T EVEN STAY AT St PAUL’s. This snub to the REAL occupy protesters has done NOTHING except de moralise us. It would have been so much better if you had recognized OUR dedication to the movement and what we are trying to highlight and achieve for it is WE who bear the cold & wet EVERY day and night. It was a shameful display of ELITISM by the Occupy London hierarchy . pfft

There has been a lot of talk since last night and continuing today about the secrecy of the event last night. Full-time occupiers, living at St. Paul’s or Finsbury Square for weeks, some in multiple working groups, were not aware of the event last night. This seems undemocratic and unfair. It should be inclusive. There is even talk that there is an internal secret 1% that is governing OccupyLondon. Some people think the secrecy tactic was divisive and will cause resentment, if it hasn’t already. An explanation in the least is necessary, if not a public apology. Most realize the logistics that might have required secrecy, but for those that have worked hard on site for 6 weeks sleeping in London’s cold streets, they wonder why even they weren’t included. Can this please be brought up at the evening GA tonight?
