Thousands of people protested around the UK in a public sector strike, which was ”the biggest strike in a generation” according to unions or “a damp squib” according to the prime minister.
OCCUPY LONDON: “We have occupied the forecourt of St Paul’s Cathedral, next to the London Stock Exchange. Reclaiming space in the face of the financial system and using it to voice ideas for how we can work towards a better future. A future free from austerity, growing inequality, unemployment, tax injustice and a political elite who ignores its citizens, and work towards concrete demands to be met.”
