Occupy London Latest: Police Clear Protest Camp at St Paul's Cathedral (Ball/Quinn)
St Paul's Cathedral has been accused of "betraying" Occupy London activists after giving the City of London police permission to remove protesters from its steps and end the four-and-a-half month camp.
The cathedral's decision, coupled with a previous high court decision obtained by the City of London, meant police successfully removed the entire Occupy London Stock Exchange camp from the square outside St Paul's.
Police said 20 people had been arrested by 4.30am in the "largely peaceful" operation.
