At the end of the day they are not being allowed to move onto anywhere else in the City. So they will stay there. I am all for that considering the good behaviour they have thus far shown. Considering the usual level of protest we have had in the City these people are showing how it should be done.
Maybe the government or city authorities should engage with them more instead of calling in the police. A good start would be to allow them into paternoster square if the agree not to encroach into the main walkways.

There'd be no removal by force or anything else if the protestors hadn't brought their dispute to St Pauls or refused to move as requested. I hope they continue to show 'how it should be done' when they're faced with the police who'll be trying to enforce the law.
