St Paul’s Cathedral and City of London file suit to block Occupy protesters

There's nothing quite like the church siding (again) on the wrong side of history. That the City of London (home of the UK banksters) is suing is predictable but the Church of England should be ashamed.

Democracy and protest is fine, as long as it is limited to boot licking for the elite.

Hundreds of people, including some protesters, were allowed into the cathedral to attend a service to mark its reopening at 12:30 BST, although the dome and galleries remained closed to the public.

Michael Welbank, who chaired the Corporation planning committee meeting, said: "Protest is an essential right in a democracy but camping on the highway is not and we believe we will have a strong highways case because an encampment on a busy thoroughfare clearly impacts the rights of others."

Earlier Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I don't quite see why the freedom to demonstrate has to include the freedom to pitch a tent almost anywhere you want to in London."
And what about the freedom to ripoff a country and then send the middle class the bill? How is that freedom? What a complete putz, as usual.
