Wait. Where are they blocking? Do you work in Paternoster Square? That seems to be the only place that is inaccessible.

Considering The Stock Exchange has moved premises for the duration and the fact it was hardly a secret means I'm prepared to give them benefit of the doubt but then again I'm not the harshest critic of protests, even if they turn a little violent, in fact I fully advocate a return to the ancient Greek way of Democracy, your MP tells lies, steals or lets you down badly they get thrown out in disgrace and their house gets burnt down, might seem harsh (especially if they are renting) but I bet they'd think twice before flipping, fiddling or treating the voters like dirt.

Update.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-15468163
Quote:
St Paul's Cathedral could reopen to the public on Friday, despite the protest camp outside the building.
The Dean of St Paul's, the Right Reverend Graeme Knowles, said he was optimistic about reopening after changes to the camp set up by the Occupy London Stock Exchange group.
Demonstrators have vowed to remain at the site

Re: Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small
Interesting story in the Times earlier this week about 90% of the tents being empty at night (checked by thermal imaging cameras).
Here is the same story with film from the Telegraph

Re: Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small
Yes they really are worried about them aren't they?
I've been musing about the fact that even when a protest is peaceful the authorities and the media are looking for a way to undermine the protest using suggestions like this and accusations that the protesters are 'professional' protesters.
Have we really lost sight of the fact that it is a democratic right to protest provided no violence is used and that the law is not broken.
I think the beaten and shot protesters in Syria would love to be able to just occupy a square or two without having to risk being shot.

Indeed. It's interesting to see how much effort is being expended to undermine the protests. I think we've entered phase 2 of the Gandi Rule.
"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you"
The corporatista are worried.

What are the Gandhi Rules?
I have heard of the Gandhi Satyagraha (Civil Resistance principles), but not Rules.
