Occupy London

Occupy London



Who/Where/When:  October 15, 2011 what had originally started as Occupy Wall Street movement, the same logic made its way to London.   A group of Anti-Capitalists camped out around St. Pauls Cathedral in London.


What/Why:  "A spokesman said the purpose of the occupation was "to challenge the bankers and the financial institutions which recklessly gambled with the economy. This and 20 other occupations all around the UK have been directly inspired by what's happening all across America and especially in Wall Street." (The Guardian)
