So they got to stay in St Georges’ square, inappropriately next to the war memorial, for 18 days. They were moved on and told they could camp in the Roma St Parklands. Not good enough. I mean, no news in hanging around where you’re allowed to is there.
I lost what little interest I had when I realized that it's largely a group of people complaining about an issue without suggesting a solution. Make your stand, make yourself be heard, but if it means just making a nuisance of yourself for those having to traipse through your ‘occupation’ on the way to work and then leaving the location far from pristine, don’t fucking bother.
If they had a point, it’s long been lost among the rubbish that they’ve left behind, the clearing of which the tax/rate payer, not the corporate machine, is footing the bill for.
From being a group of well meaning, if misguided, individuals, they’ve morphed into the usual anti-establishment espousing, habitual trouble making mob. What else would you do between riots?
How ironic that in some major cities, the ‘Occupy’ locations have drawn the local homeless as they now have somewhere to stay with sanction. At least some good is coming from it, if only on a temporary basis.
