Occupy London

Anti-capitalist protesters camping outside St Paul's Cathedral will discover today if they can continue a legal fight for the right to stay.

Protesters lost a battle against eviction in the High Court in January and the Court of Appeal is today due to rule on whether they can launch an appeal.

A High Court judge backed the City of London Corporation's bid to evict protesters from the camp in London, at a hearing in London on January 18.

Justice Lindblom granted orders for possession against the Occupy London protest group and said the local authority's proposed action was "entirely lawful and justified" as well as necessary and proportionate.

Protesters asked three appeal judges headed by the Master of the Rolls, Lord Neuberger, for permission to challenge Justice Lindblom's ruling.

Judges heard legal argument at a Court of Appeal hearing in London on 13 February and reserved judgment until today.

Well, unless you think half a dozen smelly people in tents constitutes a majority I definitely think it's a victory for democracy.

I think that sitting around in nylon tents made by cheap Asian labour blows most of their arguments out of the water anyway. As with most of socialism their 'ideals' & actions are born out of jealousy and laziness.

It's about time this protest was brought to an end..........it's becoming extremely boring and is just another excuse for layabouts not to take a bath. Tourists don't pay to come to London to see a gang of the great unwashed clogging up the entrances to our prime tourist sites. The point was made months ago and now it's time to move on. No, I'm not a city worker making a fortune from the British puplic, I'm just an old age pensioner trying to get by on the State pension and those idiots outside St Pauls aren't helping me one bit.
