Today: - the catherdal issued this statement which basically can be summed up by the following excerpt from the Dean's open letter to OccupyLSX: " With a heavy heart I have to tell you that St Paul’s Cathedral has to be closed today until further notice, because of the legal requirements placed upon us by fire, health and safety issues." - a statement was issued by OccupyLSX in return, basically stating that the camp feels it has met the requirements placed by the London Fire Brigade, and Health & Safety officials. The conclusion of an emergency meeting held this afternoon was a consensus that the camp will stay in place for now, and continue to pursue a positive dialogue with the church, in terms of finding out what exactly are the issues to health & safety, given the above all-clear.

occupy LSX - day 2 - photos - donation drop-off

I went down to the camp tonight with my brother and a friend, with a few things to donate.  My Mum really took it to heart when I asked for stuff, and gave me a load of her jumpers to take down.  My brother too.  We took blankets, quilts and some candles and water.  But the thing that seemed to cause the most delight was a little torch, decorated as a tiger, that is generated by pumping a handle.  The guys in the donation tent seemed to be quite happy with that. The feel in the camp (we arrived at about 10pm or so) was calm, quiet and chilled.  Groups of people gathered on the cathedral steps, behind the city of tents, and in others spaces.  What sounded like bhodrans were played softly somewhere, and even the police in front of paternoster square seemed relatively chilled. Once again, sad to leave, but looking forward to going back. To find out what you can take to help, check here . Meanwhile, A few more photos.
