A quick note on the Occupy LSX eviction

Just to acknowledge that it happened, that it was "mostly peaceful", and that a press release announces:

The natural question to rush to in these moments is: 'What next?' In the short term, there will be a GA [general assembly] at 7pm on Tuesday by the steps of St Paul's

In the medium term, it is only right that people will need time to rest, reflect and recharge, to take stock and learn the lessons of the past four and a half months. But be assured that plans are already afoot: plans of some ambition, employing a diversity of tactics and delivered with the aplomb you would expect from us. All will be revealed in time. May is one of our favourite months.

I'm very curious, and looking forward to seeing what happens in May.

It should also be noted that the government has promised to look for ways to make it easier to evict future encampments. Because apparently it's not enough that they were able to get an eviction together: people with awkward ideas need to be shut up much more quickly!

Comments Moderation Policy

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
