In London, city authorities have resumed legal action to expel the Occupy encampment at the landmark St. Paul’s Cathedral. The move could set the stage for a police raid similar to those seen in the United States over the past few weeks. Activists at the encampment criticized London officials for seeking their displacement.

Protester 1: “It saddens us because it was looking very promising with the church agreeing to drop a legal action, and then obviously the Corporation (of London) following suit. But to renege on and go back on it again, it does beg the question why.”

Protester 2: “We’ve been faced with the possibility of this camp being swept away nearly every day since we’ve been here, so it’s not a concern. We’re here for a much greater reason, which is to address the social ills, not only on a national level, but on an international level.”
