Yes, S.Wright, A Luxury. Bit cold or damp is it? I’m sure those starving from famine, suffering real oppression, dying painfully from Aids in third world countries would feel very sorry for you. You are NOT campaigning for the ‘good of the world’ you are campaigning at what you believe is for the good of the world (as well as a hundred and one other things that you come up with to complain about). The two are, in my and I’m sure a large number of people’s opinions far from the same thing. Rather than going around in circles congratulating yourselves on such a great and how wonderful a ‘job’ your doing, why not come up with some actual (by that I mean sensible, viable and practical) solutions rather than concentrating on complaining what you feel to be all the wrongs in the world. Its very easy to say “its rubbish and its broken – someone should fix it”. Far more difficult to say “This is how things are, this is how things should be – this are the steps we need to get there”.

Sue,
Your comment was blatantly implying the security is there to prevent terrorism, I in return blatantly pointed out it wont, hence ‘get your head out of the sand’ WHICH you class as a childish comment………..are you also implying that children would understand this ?

Your issue with the 99% thing and “perception is reality”………….your reading way too much into this are you not, do you HONESTLY think the vast majority op people capable of reading would perceive that this movement is made up of 99% of the population, your just looking for something to pick holes in I feel.

Personally I would NOT love to be part of the1% as you would, as the 1% have more, obscenely more financial security than is needed by anyone, would you not agree ?
You make some points about things you would like changed, which I can agree with as stepping stones of change, BUT THEN You claim I am ignoring facts, where and when please ?
You mention the bail outs, you can hardly accuse anyone supporting ‘occupy’ of ignoring this fact, totally ridiculous.

Again you proceed to highlight more changes you would like to see, again worthy ideas I think. BUT shamefully you seem to nearly gloat this would cost jobs and the ‘left’ would not be happy, and “all those ppl no longer needed”
Those people would be people like you and me, NOT ‘ppl’ Shame on you !
These ‘public servants’, your description not mine, who have worked for our benefit, you seem happy for them to be dispensed with far too easily, everyone should be able to contribute and should by working, I believe 99% of the population want to work. In case you were implying I am a ‘leftie’ think again, I have been self-employed all my life pretty much, made profits, have a mortgage etc etc.

You also imply your changes to taxation I would regard as too right wing, I have already and would agree with them, but afraid to say this for fear of insulting you, but they sound very much like ‘leftist’ ideas. ( cant say for fact they are as I am not a ‘leftie’ ) are you confused ?

No need to be sorry for how you feel when referring to being in control, but I would disagree that you are in control, the only control you have, and its the same for me I am not singling you out, is who we want to control us.

As for petty insults and snide remarks, I would rather be a ‘tool’ (your words) than a fool, more useful would you ‘lot’ (your words) agree ?

To finish, overall you leave me confused, you have a good few ideas of change, which is what this movement is about, yet you seem to be attacking them for protesting for change.

Thank you s.wright,
Feel free to use it yourself, more than happy sharing what I can and certainly dont want to be greedy, and ‘if we play our cards right’ and spread the wealth we could all be a bit more content, just need to play the ‘patience’ game !!

How do you feel about the private corporation Canary Wharf Group, bailed out in the 90′s, with taxpayer money, now able to prevent British people from marching in Canary Wharf?

Back in 2004, the cleaners working in Canary Wharf wanted to go on strike for higher pay.
They were banned from marching. The Canary Wharf group placed an injunction against them.

That act affects your right of protest. The same way that all these new laws affect every Britons right to complain about the current government.

Before you criticise us, perhaps you should spend the night in the #OccupyLSX camp and see whether you find the accommodations luxurious.
