Day 10 Occupy MCR
Another great 24 hours...We had visitors from Yorkshire last night who drove up to give us soup! All that way they came! Awesome that so many are with this movement...There's a big weekend ahead; Everywhere seems to be 'going live' on the 15th, occupancy's taking place, marches planed...Occupy London Stock Exchange, am sorry to miss this now as it was planned we were to attend however since arriving on Sunday 2nd we didn't go home and have no plans to either.
We had bad news last night, there was a food stall on the food market and the tent blew up last night and injured 3 people, one of the reason they wanted us to vacate Albert Square was due to health and safety; It was extremely lapsed when we went there on the Thursday last, no safety was in place to prevent injury to the public. On Sunday night one of the directors threatened violence toward group members also...
We have had visits today from a single mum who is being threatened by social services for CHOOSING not to have HER child immunized....We have had a guy today from some political movement who wants to organize a demo with us at weekend...We have had a man and lady who have brought food and tobacco....The support from the public does not waver at all, Thank you guys YOU ARE AMAZING...We Are the Many; they are the few; We stand up for Me and You....Please don't forget our address and post on to us flyer's and posters :) Peace n Love xxx

Day Nine OccupyMCR
Not posted yesterday as we were really busy. We held our 1st public assembly in which we had around four public members joined; more public was there, around 10...Things brought up was health care Brought on by (BLOCK THE BRIDGE which happened yesterday)... Social service abuse of children...Government by consensus was brought up and people commented how well they feel this works... The movement is global with around 70 countries and 1200 camps now up (occupations)...OCTOBER 15th is is international non compliance day, marches, strikes, disobedience all over the world...Members of society who help people in there day to day life i.e nurses carers should be more financially and morally supported. The first time in history that movements globally have joined as one, the revolution has begun...Discussions about wars and how we can stop this...Lots of good things passed between us and people were interested and extremely supportive.
We have had three drops of food from the local Indian of curries and stir fry...(Lovely :))...We have had two drops of hot pies from Hollands (Yummy), a huge pan of curry brought from a member of the public and last night we cooked our first meal :)A wkd veg stew with pulses and barley :)...A good idea for cooking is to bring a barbecue (large one) with gas bottle as it last longer than the mini ones.....We have two new permanent members (Yeahhhhh) and much support from the public :) Everything's good here on camp even though its raining we are all in good spirits....Peace n Love :)Oh we got a battery for charging now as well...
