The Corporation were going down the legal route at one stage I believe. Certainly before Christmas they were being reported as doing so.

I was thinking about them this morning what with Cameron's latest statement on bonuses. They haven't been mentioned at all since Christmas yet there has been no real news. Is the media doing something on purpose?

I would imagine that their complete inability to communicate a single, coherent and consistent idea makes them very uninteresting from a media point of view. if you think about it after the initial impact of "there are people camping in protest outside St Pauls!" stories had abated, we had a flurry of "someone's resigned!" stories and the empty tents strand.

once the authorities pretty much shrugged and said meh it falls of a media agenda pretty quickly.

Real shame that Brighton had a big storm and blew all their tents down!

Blew the big tent down last week at Finsbury Square as well
took off about 5 foot in the air - then 3 blokes managed to grab it just before it caused an accident

Nah! pest control officers, where are they when needed. Best they clean up and move away now, the point has been made that they set out to make.

You're right there. A good few weeks of sub zero temperatures with snow on the ground would solve a lot of ills (I say from Bangkok where it has been as low as 16 some nights this "cold" season!)

How long is it?? 4 or 5 months ?? All the talk about court orders,evictions,police actions etc etc have come to nothing.All the local council have done is to supply special bins for the "SHARPS" as all the needles left around were a health hazard.Also its been reported that some one had a dump INSIDE St Paul`s.I think its time for the police to test the new riot control stuff they have been talking about,like water cannons,plastic bullets etc and clean up the whole area.

These soap dodgers are squatting in a derelict Salvation Army citadel in Sheffield. No windows. Plenty of rats, no doubt.

Wonder if it got rid of the overwhelming smell of wee from that concrete basin thing next door?
