Two Snapshots of St. Paul’s
Guido took a stroll round the distinctly underwhelming camp at St Paul’s last night. One or two things did make him giggle though:
His face lit up by a thousand corporations…
It all go a little too tiring and emotional for one merry camper…
UPDATE: Behind the paywall The Times have some disgruntled voices:
“Zakandrew Roberts, 18, joined Occupy London on its first day, but left on Saturday after a series of incidents, including someone urinating in his tent and a friend being threatened with a penknife. He claimed that the camp had deteriorated from a group of serious campaigners intent on highlighting issues about economic equality, to “drunks and drug-takers . . . here for a laugh”. Mr Roberts, an unemployed charity worker, said: “Half the people there don’t know why they are there or what they are protesting about. I want political change, not to get high and drunk all the time.”
Watch out for that progressive punch, it’s lethal…
They have no message, plus they like thier showers and own beds.
Confiscate their coca-cola / laptops, deny them immunisations and medical treatment and deport them to North Korea to enjoy some socialism. Complete ‘Tards.
Ah! Doric columns.

Corinthian columns.
Sorry, I cannot see the capitols. It is an age since I have seen them in real life and my Pevsners are all down the other end, unfortunately still in boxes, due to prolonged construction works.
Contact the Greek Government.
You can have the whole of Corinth for £50,000
Thank you Sir William for correcting me on this. I have felt obliged to look this up as penance and found this magnificent photo on Wikipedia:
We now have three snapshots of St Paul’s, this last one being free of the current detritus.
I am so glad I have Sindh.

@ Bill Quango MP
Thanks, but I am mindful of the need to spend my hard earned cash with caution. It will be even cheaper in a year’s time.
Don’t expect delivery in a hurry though. They’ve still got scaffolding round the Acropolis, and they started that job 2,500 years ago.
@Engineer
Now we are talking about Doric columns at the Parthenon. I was there last time just four years ago. £50k is a bit steep though. Half the decorations are missing…
Cat – there comes a time in the life of many buildings when repair is no longer a viable option. Perhaps Bill should invest anyway, clear the site and build something more up-to-date, with lower maintenance costs.
What all that Barry and Pugin stuff bulldozed down? Oh well, I suppose it is progress after all…
Do we clear it of the inhabitants first?
Seems only reasonable. There’s a big old pile over the river in Battersea that they could use for a while. It’s even got chimneys to let the hot air out.
Partying and Political Emancipation?
I can have both. I can have both.
A couple of ifficent sucurity guards would sort them out quickly
Well come on then. (Efficiently).
Gud jobb sukrity gardz donava spelin tezt

Billy – you don’t have a job.
You are either behind Billy or in front of him!
Could I sit this one out?
DING ! DONG DING DONG (answer the fuckin door !!)
if it’s a Fuckin Jovas witness,tell ‘em to fuck orf !!
The same thing has happened in the “camps” in the US. There are increasing numbers of reports of rapes, robberies, assaults, racist abuse and other crimes. It seems the tree hugging “Peaceniks” aren’t so peaceful after all. Readers can go the the American Thinker blog if they want to read the numerous reports of the crime sprees that are ongoing in the camps around the various U.S. cities.
Correct. guido hates fruit and veg.
When are you going to remove that m*rr*w from your fundament, Billy?
Modded!
Sounds like just the place for me. are there any youngs girls staying there who would like the wise counsel of a senior MP.
The only have no message if you put your fingers in your ears and shout “LA LA LA I’M NOT LISTENING”
The problem, Billy, is that they have too many messages. So many that it seems doubtful half of them know why the other half are there.
A coherent message that doesn’t have any obvious contradictions…
“Fight greed by taxing the shit out of everyone else and giving us their money” is not selling well.
Well there’s not much alternative, unfettered capitalism is why we’re in this mess, the establishment are largely there because they continue to slant the system in their favour.
Wonderful Jeff Randall on Sky, interviewing protestor: ‘Doesn’t it occur to you that most ordinary hard-working people think you are just a bunch of vexatious poseurs?’ Wonderful Jeff.
Here is a message they should be asking:
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20526
Sign it and make them squirm.
“Mr Roberts, an unemployed charity worker”
What exactly is the difference between an unemployed charity worker, or an unemployed banker or an unemployed ….
They’re all fookin unemployed, but the banker is less likely to be a drain on the taxpayer.
I’m organising a piss-up with a few mates in the city next week. Does this mean we can no longer depend on crashing the empty tents?
signed the petition
‘We the undersigned request that Parliament debate the reasons why the EU Budgetary accounts have not been signed off for sixteen consecutive years with regard to any misappropriation of UK taxpayer’s money.’
Thanks for that, Alexsandr.
It was only started/accepted yesterday and without publicity from newspapers it will have a slow start – but it would be satisfying to see it reach its target.
Perhaps Guido will push it?
Unaudited EU Accounts and Misappropriation Petition:
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20526
gerrin. i’ll sign that
It’ll be a real feather in their caps if we do decide on an alternative to capitalism.
Monopoly?
The tradition alternative seems to be Marxism then famine and rapid death (apart from the more equal politically connected).
Interesting idea about the occupy rabble.

Classic. I loved it but it frightened my coconut trees.
just found this on the bbc…
“Gang members trading in guns could face life in jail, says Home Secretary Theresa May.
The idea follows concerns that the same guns are being traded between gangs and used in a series of different attacks.
Renewed attempts will also be made to intervene in the lives of young people at risk of becoming gang members.
Labour says spending cuts could undermine the government’s strategy.
Ms May will outline details of the cross-government approach to MPs later.”
I mean, the bit saying ‘Labour says spending cuts…blah blah blah’ just doesn’t even fit there. It makes no sense. The BBC couldn’t let it go without having a go at the (non-existent) spending cuts. They could at least have been honest and inserted ‘the BBC’ instead of ‘Labour’.
They aren’t even pretending any more. The BBC should be shut down.
They are one and the same. The BBC are labour’s propaganda wing.
Where are the pictures of the pools of steaming piss? I emptied at least six pints on the West door.
That wasn’t the West door. It was Zak.
Is there a betting market that the Greek will be allowed a referendum? I’d bet against.
They’ll be allowed as many referendums as they need to get the right answer.
E U S S R is running out of time.
That’s their own fault for not dealing with the problems properly in the first place.
The whole idea IS the problem.
Surely, an ‘unemployed charity worker’ is just someone who’s unemployed? Otherwise, I’m an unemployed astronaut.
Ps Guido
How did you manage without getting attacked by the anti-capitalists?
They were both getting a Pret a manger
They would be there a while if John Prescott was there first!
Pps Guido
I think this site is great and so are you
time for you to clean your brown nose
why do you says that – Guido does a good job and it is nice to tell him so
I don’t get it – so you’re not allowed to protest if you have money?
Did I miss a memo?
The right to be a hypocrite is universal.
you can protest by giving it away since its so evil…..thought not
In the Christian tradition, you either claim things to be true because they have been ‘revealed’ as such or you prove that what you believe is ‘true’ by enduring pain, up to and including death.
It is all irrational.
Just been passed Finsbury Sq – ‘protesters’ currently engaged in a radical game of keepy uppy.
getting high ?
You can’t blame Blair for giving Caplin the hot beef injection. Imagine waking up next to this every morning: http://www.annaraccoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/cherie-blair.jpg

Is La Caplin Orthodox, Liberal or Reformed?
The only thing that keeps strength in my faith is that Bliar is married to that FUCKIN UGLY TROUT……………
Like a nasty character from an animated film
Well livingstone said the people camping out are homeless, out of work and angry at the system that’s made them the have-nots looking in at workers with wages and homes.
Of course our ken completely ignores the newspaper research that shows a number of the protestors are middle and upper class and have at least one comfortable home to keep going back to each night.
But then ken never was very good at reality.
So he does have something in common with them then…
Why are so many of the protesters Irish, Australian, American, Canadian, French, Italian, Moroccan, and from various other swarthy climes?
Why so few Christians?
There is the Bishop of London. Oh and a druid…
Oh, so you’re bashing the bishop too?
Thank you for that Mr Gaol. I can still see quite well with glasses though. No need to panic yet.
Thanks nell for the heads up on the mod word, I was concentrating on the chicharo/chicharito spellings.
Guido. On the side of the ordinary person. Unless they
criticise his mates in the city.
you have to suck the cock that seeds you
What is striking is that the attack shows someone using a Mac computer. Its not even clear if the person is a protester, or just someone who came down to look at what is happening or maybe just looking for girls. The only critic is an image of a person on a Mac near the event. Or maybe they are journalists or doing a study. I go down there to track a twitter analysis tool in real time, does that somehow reflect on the movement itself?
What Guido and no one can say, no one is saying, and no one will say is that they trust the banks, that the banking reforms of the past 20 years are working, and that the system as is is going to come out of this stronger than every. Because no one believes that anymore. There simply is no longer a rationally expressible defense of the radical free market changes of the past 20 years.
You cannot see his left hand, I grant you, so he could be having a J Arthur.
So you have something in common with him. You certainly have not been paying attention to what has taken place on these pages for some years.
Having a J Arthur Bowers? Don’t know that one, cock.
That Apple logo has clearly been Gimped.
As has its creator.
Not GIMPed, IMO; it’s a MacBook Air 13″, £1000+ for a laptop.

Pardon me but this was state driven. In the U.S. they’ve even found the documents.

Old news. Just confirmation.
The lefty state forcing banks to loan money to bad risks is not really “radical free market” is it?
That is only a very small part of the jigsaw.
Were those rules making them hand out “ninja loans” to unwhite people, or indeed any subprime deals to white people?
Face facts: the banks themselves made a hell of a lot of bad decisions.
I’ll be back in January but I want all the protesters to know I stand in full solidarity with them. Keep fighting! I’ll think of you from my balcony in Tuscany.
Don’t forget to take a noose and jump from your aforementioned balcony with it around your neck.
I don’t actually dislike anyone but Polly really gets on my tits.
So you don’t actually dislike Prescott, Kinnock, Campbell, Blair, Brown, Mandelson, etc etc etc?
Oh, yeah. Forgot about them. Actually, I think Clarkson’s a total c’unt as well.
Clarkson is a fictional TV personality, like Keith Lemon.
You wouldn’t want something missing on such an important anatomical part.
Always include Piers Morgan in any such bucket list
Marcus Brigstocke.
That Herman Cain is a big hunk of love. I’d love to lick ryce and pee off his johnson.
Why not, you pee off everyone else.
Herman Cain, former president of the industry association for the restaurant industry in the US, hence lobbyist; former board member of a regional Federal Reserve bank; and “Man of the People.” Look, such a man as he is is likely to have sexual harassment allegations thrown at him for the shakedown value alone; I doubt anybody takes those charges seriously.
John Edwards never got any sexual shenanigans in the MSM.
What’s it like, having nothing left but ad hominems as a reply?
What’s this got to do with gayers?

Oi, garçon! Ou est my fucking bolinjer?!
Tony’s spunk tastes very salty.
I sucked T**y off while C****e took him up the jacksie with a strap-on. Happy memories.

BAs in mime? Pavement art, maybe?
Its just a cover story the BBC and SKY are talking about this to cover up the news about their beloved EU
http://www.zerohedge.com/
For news not narrative.
I agree with MP Mark Fields comments in the newspapers today. St Paul’s has become a national joke. I wonder if these protesters would get the same warm reception if they camped outside Notre Dame…or the Blue Mosque? Where has all the leadership gone from the Church of England?
Freedom and opportunity are precious gifts and the purpose of our politics is to expand them, for all our people.
Nobody can expand like me
I have a dweem, “No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like the waters and wrighteousness like a mighty stweam.”
That’s why Ed takes > 50% of salaries to give to those who don’t work.
Great!
Today is bash Billy day.
Is that Billy the Bishop?
People are much kinder to your since you lost your rag when you had new arseholes torn 3 times in a week – do you remember that week – when you demanded that everybody should sign in to comment.
Don’t remind him – he will sign off early again. Billy, bring back the “good night, everybody commenting after this is a fake” sign off when you go.
Is it bugger Billy tomorrow then, dear?
Elsie, you were 83¼ six months ago.
it’s bugger billy every day – only those without a foreskin need apply
Great, take that Billy
Why is tonight different to all other nights?
that laptop was taken um purchased on a shopping spree in August. very reasonable.
Why is he disguised as the Phantom of the Opera?
Because its not a very good disguise?.
He showed up for the wrong demonstration. He’s supposed to be shutting me down on the 5th.
A libertarian is upset at protest.
They’ve stolen the land you thick shit.
Any I-product consumes no power.
They use energy from ethereal sources. Like Guardian reader’s smugness.
or a Democratic sense of mankind’s innate goodness.
The internet is powered by natural earth crystals and the inside of an ipad2 is nothing but rainbow unicorns and moonbeams.
This is dangerous material. Have you not seen the Dilbert cartoon where a magazine is left in Marketing and they order a space station for the next day? If Minibland sees this it will be Labour Party policy in minutes. Take it down immediately.
I got so sick of the trick or treaters that I turned the lights out and pretended I wasn’t in.
Fuck the ships. My lighthouse, my rules.
That really made me laugh.
Its ok, I am sure its all my fault anyway.
And even if it isn’t, we could probably get away with putting the blame for it on you!
What, is he not allowed to have a laptop now?
No it’s just amusing to see a weedy protester with an expensive piece of kit
from a company that was headed by an arch capitalist.
When will the Bishop of London appoint a water-canon?
That is a vicar ious question.
what the bet that the only overnight protesters are undercover policeman claiming the overtime.
I think some real homeless tramps should join them. the smell onone will want to make them more on.
Alternatively a visit by Piggy Pickles would suffice. Any survivors who have not been eaten by morning can have sanctuary in St Pauls.
there is an OccupyBath going on at the moment; it would take a man with a heart of stone to read this comment (from one of the activists on the local paper website) without laughing:
“During the last few hours, our banners and placards have been systematically removed by an individual or several individuals hostile to our movement, and replaced them with banners reading ‘spoilt brats’”
http://www.thisisbath.co.uk/Occupy-Bath-protest-begins-Queen-Square/story-13711969-detail/story.html
Oh Please will someone do the same in London!!
There’s something rather ironic about the soapdodgers occupying Bath.
Wright!
Didn’t he make that lovely coal tar soap?
Correct. And it is much more transparent than Parliament has ever been.
& smells as vile.
So tell me again what effect have this lot had on capitalism in the city of london?
They have provided the first light relief for some time.
Poor Mr Roberts. There is no hope for his future in either of the two main parties if he doen’t want to be permanently drunk. And if he wants to stop having his tent used as a public toilet he should pitch it further away from the clergy.
He now understands the phrase that politicians use so often about it being better to be inside the tent pissing out.
I had a sudden surreal vision of Lyndon Johnson as an ecowarrior.
Better to be in a non-pissy tent.
Now there is another brilliant new British idea.
Bet the Chinese will clean up though.
I expect that they will all go home if is rains or snows
The snow in new york hasn’t deterred the protestors there even though the authorities removed their generators. now I did think that was creative thinking on the part of the authorities.
The local residents however say they are fed up with the smell and the fact that the protestors are drumming and chanting all night.
What we need is a sudden plummet in temperatures to something beneath -5c.
Maybe AlGor could visit OWS?
What, you mean get all the global warming over at once?
His being in Massachusetts was enough for a few inches of snow in NY.
Funny that but gordon was out there over the weekend as well!!
I read the NY protesters were getting pissed off with the NY homeless nicking their food. “Yay for equality and give to the poor, just leave my money and food alone. Now F*ck-off, Mr Homeless”
I’m sure if someone tried hard they could dig up some long forgotten law that vagabonds can not pitch their sackcloths on the streets of London.
No. It was rescinded to allow the lord Mayor to enter the City. However, I believe Freemen have the right to drive sheep through the City. Anyone on this site a Freeman of the City with a flock of sheep needing some exercise?
Sadly it no longer applies – if it ever did. When I became a Freeman I was disabused of that notion, and also the one about being hung by a silken rope. I’m not sure that there are any benefits, mediaeval or otherwise, these days.
you get the best seat in the synagogue
They had it pretty much sewn up in the Middle Ages, habeas corpus and the distinction in law between common and private land, then the EU came along and screwed everything up.

“. I want political change, not to get high and drunk all the time.”
So he agrees with scrapping EMA then.
WTF’s EMA? Might as well get wankered, Billy, and watch the fan get crushed under the doo-doos.
Because I got high ??? hahahahaha

I love the banks and the bankers. I’m so happy we all bailed them out. I think it’s great they get such high bonuses and are able to have super parties. Corporations deserve to make vast profits and they are clearly the way forward for Britain. If future generations have a problem with that – too bad!
“Mr Roberts, an unemployed charity worker”
Just the type of bloke to tell be telling us all how the country should and shouldn’t be run.

Chances are that he failed his A levels and couldn’t go to university in October.

Hi Billy. I am gay too. I like a police truncheon up my arse. I wanna give you a hand job. I wanna be your handyman. How about it hun?
join the end of a fucking long queue
Billy. Who can make you feel good? The handyman can. The handy man can. The handy man can.
Smash capitalism! The proletariat of Lyme Regis are ready to rise up! The heroic youth in their tents are standing up fearlessly for the workers against the evil top-hatted city bosses. What’s more, they have captured the public mood-Mary Riddell says so.
How the fuck can you be an unemployed charity worker? Get a fucking job you useless layabout.
What a bunch of socialist hypocrites who think it is trendy to protest against capitalism on their expensive apple gadgets.
It’s good that Zakandrew Roberts is having the scales fall from his eyes at such an early age.
At least he now sees this nonsense for what it really is: squabbles and messy thinking that are unfortunately the trademarks of the political Left in Britain.
Roberts’ visit to this supposed den of free thought has shown him once and for all that if the militants are allowed to run the New Order, we had all better emigrate at high speed.
No doubt many of these people will continue to wave their banners on the streets and brandish sticks and go home and brag about their bruises. ‘There I was – the Rebel.’
“what’s capitalism ever done for us, eh?”
“Er, well I suppose it provided us with this laptop.”
“And the internet.”
“Yeah, so appart from laptops, and the internet – what’s capitalism ever done for us…?”
Surely he’s either unemployed or a charity worker, but not both?
