protesters in St. Paul to seek consensus on a safer area, while the Corporation of London is the expulsion of the Supreme Court
The air is cold and Nick is dressed appropriately: sheepskin hat, sweat thick, scruffy waterproof jacket, torn jeans. Only his impeccably polished black brogues stands out in small groups occupy London tent camp outside the Cathedral of St. Paul.
Nick is an investment banker. He and a colleague in the sample of the community occupy chills LSX activist George Barda, 35. "George said he does not fit," says Nick, who prefers his last name not be published. He borrowed the clothes of fellow gardening. Hotfoot from his hotel room in London, where he remained so after a Christmas party "in the city" now has its own private tour of London occupy the camp.
Why? "Because I wanted to hear what they have to say." Barda as follows:. "I'm sure there's a huge audience who think that everyone here is just a complete flake, and you should be shot through
"It's important for me to get your point across to an audience that would not," says Nick, who writes a blog distributed to some 300 financial institutions and has his own video camera in the towing.
Barda has much to say, thousands of words, in fact, that, as one of three defendants named in the action of the High Court by the City of London Corporation to remove the ground LSX occupy are perfectly distilled in court documents filed before the case was opened on Monday.
Nick directorsinformation tent at the camp - "our spiritual home" - to four points Barda cabinets bulge in a small bank:. Hundreds of pages legal to read and assimilate in advance
"Are you proud of this country and the fact that it's actually going to court?" the banker asked.
"Yes, absolutely," he says Barda, a reflection on the unlimited power of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to keep the criminal record of Wall Street camp Zuccotti Park.
"Biscuit?" offering, entering the store kitchen where food is prepared by the donation of land. Nick refuses. "We had a full English breakfast at the hotel," he said. "Well, I had some bread a little stale, but incredible," he said cheerfully Barda.
leftover bread was donated by a bakery near Paternoster Square, home of the London Stock Exchange and to the original destination of London, until the police physically prevented protesters throwing tents. Monday, two Christmas trees shining unfortunately in the middle of the square, isolated in a sea of ??metal barriers placed to prevent the invasion to protest the global economic injustice.
public school educated and studied law for a year at Oxford, Barda, who has a degree in philosophy from University College London, has to juggle his street work Greenpeace activist with his master the environment, politics and globalization at Kings College London, while spending five nights a week sleeping in San Pablo and preparation for the case of the High Court.
is important to appear in person, he says, because it seeks to expand the parameters of the case to include social and political issues. "If only our legal team in front of the City of London Corporation, 90% of cases would be nothing but health and safety and planning and the technical part. Nothing to do with questions of why we're here. "
- It certainly attracted a few people with little or no affiliation or understanding of the commitments of squat movement and philosophy.
