UPDATE 1956 GMT: Occupy London has released a letter to the people who run St. Paul's Cathedral, addressing the concerns that the church has been closed and attempting to get clarification on "health and safety concerns" that the church may have about the protest encampment. Read the entire letter here.
UPDATE 1948 GMT: Our EA Correspondent gives his analysis of how established the Findscury protest is:
"FS is looking established. Nearly 50 tents, 2 marquees, and a gazebo. And St. Pauls is now following a daily routine schedule."
He also describes the strange kind of democracy that the two camps have established:
Separate assemblies, at the usual times, meet in both camps.
But there is constant feedback between the two groups. When one Assembly votes on an issue, the other then votes on it as well... until a consensus is reached by the two groups.
Sounds complicated and time consuming, but who would have thought they could get the participatory General Assembly idea working without significant dissension as they have.
