The 99%

An international movement to protest the way that the bankers continue to profit while ordinary people are paying the penalty for their (and politicians) mistakes.

Some call them 'occupy wall street' while othes know them as 'the 99 percent'.

We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we're working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

In the UK people are aware that St Pauls Cathedral was closed but seemingly not of much more.

I wonder what the 'health and safety' grounds for closing St Pauls consist of. I happened to be listening to the radio last night and it was quite clear that the fire service have no problem with this camp..........and they are the experts.
Any ideas?
