UK Uncut invading Canary Wharf tomorrow...

[Du1point8]

http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/actions/490

Tower Hamlets Uncut invite you on a 'guided tour' of Canary Wharf.

Set in the historic heart of London's east end, Canary Wharf is an up-and-coming destination for international finance. With tax avoidance, bonus bonanzas and financial mismanagement, there really is something for everyone.

Join workers and residents of Tower Hamlets for this fun and informative tour. We will take you inside some of the leading banks for the authentic 'Canary Wharf experience'. Highlights include:

- The world HQ of Barclays Bank: serial tax avoiders, bonuses £3.4 billion

- The world HQ of HSBC: 253 of its staff got more than £1 million each in 2010

- US tax dodgers Bank of America and Citigroup

- Corporate law firm Allen and Overy: clients include BAE systems and vulture funds.

The tour departs at 5.30 from Canada Square (Canary Wharf tube or DLR). Look out for the tour guide with the umbrella. Bring something loud and a strong sense of justice.

As of 5pm we are not allowing people in our building and we are all allowed to have a dress down day... excellent... will watch from the slug

Security will not allow people near the building without a pass.

I presume it will be like last time and be about 20 whole people turn up and look scared amongst thousand of suits.

How, in this day and age, can the ISP be allowed to get away with having this sort of thing organised via their servers?

Anyone up for a glass of something at Plateau and a front row seat?

Is the area not private property?

I am there tomorrow - should be interesting. Don't really want the hassle.

yes it is private and thus they are invading, but im not sure of the implications of what they can do with them...

Well, I know at least one person who works at CW who is a stressed out MMA/thai boxer. Should be amusing to hear what he reports back with.

i am sorry but just because they have a different opinion to you doesn't give you the right to censor them. just laugh at them instead

Who mentioned censorship?!

I was pointing out the fact that the ISP is allowing a group known for violent protest to organise action on private property.

[Pesty]

can't some of the suits go down and give them a pre emptive self defensive slap?

[Tsippy]

What was the incident when a load of crusties attempted to invade an office or trading floor via escalators, and the suits battered them and chucked them down the stairs resulting in a full on retreat for the crusty-army? I seem to remember a youtube video of it but cannot find it

[Trommel]

It was at LIFFE.

I doubt they'll have much luck with A&O since everyone moved back to the City last year.

If it's raining they'll stay away, otherwise it's classified as a wash.

Too late I already took the oppotunity to turn up in jeans and T-shirt... Ah a nice dress down day for me!!
