Parents meet-up at St Pauls/Occupy London?

[zelda100]

Hello all,

Would anyone like to meet up/ travel together to the protest at St Pauls, on Weds 26th?

I went to the start of it, on Sat 15th, with my children (aged 1.5 and 3.5) and was struck by the need for more so-called ordinary people to show support, as otherwise it gets dismissed as just the usual suspects (far left agitators etc).

I am impressed that people are braving discomfort, cold and inconvenience to highlight the inequality in our country and I would like to support that (if only for a bit).

Would anyone like to come too? It's a bus ride - I got the 63 from Peckham Rye to near Ludgate Hill and it took about 50 mins in total.

Thanks

Hi Zelda

Sorry could not make it but would have been interesting to take a look at what's going on. The MIL went at the weekend and said there is some really progressive ideas buzzing around. You seem to have a lot of hits, presumably you had a lot of interest?

oh no. We would have gone with you, if you plan another trip then please PM me. Karen.

Hi Karen, and others interested,

I went yesterday and it was a very good experience. Even if you are doubtful about the aims/ approach/ location it's definitely worth going along - I found the debate and camaraderie exhilirating. They have scheduled events, like debates, talks, music etc, so it's not just wandering around between tents.

We are planning on going again Tuesday 1 Nov, if we can't go earlier. Let me know if you'd like to meet up.

Thanks
