Osem you seem to be against these particular protesters.Can I ask why?They haven't caused any particular trouble and the trouble there was at the weekend came from a different group altogether.
Of course if there is violence then they deserve to be arrested but I cannot see why they should be prevented from staying if they come to an agreement with the Cathedral authorities.

I'm just as against ANY group of protestors who decide to occcupy places of national importance/significance in such a manner for long periods of time. IMO those who occupied Parliament Square were just as wrong.
As for potential trouble, these protestors appear peaceful for now and I have no problem with them expressing their views but, as has been seen many times before, there are those who attach themselves to such groups with the sole aim of causing mayhem and I sincerely hope St Pauls doesn't fall victim to them and their antics. Given recent experiences in London, I don't think it's being unreasonable or denegrating the innocent to have some concerns about these events and what 'could' happen if the 'wrong sort' get involved.
