Occupy London gains momentum
British anti-capitalist movement is gaining momentum as more protest camps are being pitched in other locations across the capital London.
According to Press TV, British media reported that hundreds of campaigners moved from St. Paul’s Cathedral and launched a new occupation protest in Finsbury Square, Moorgate, where they called for a ”general assembly”.
The reports said, as the 'Occupy London' protest entered its seventh day, the demonstrators moved out to reduce the pressure on the increasingly crowded venue outside St. Paul’s.
The protest movement pitched camps outside the cathedral after police blocked them from occupying the London Stock Exchange.
The demonstration is one of the several staged across Europe inspired by Occupy Wall Street protests in New York attacking global finance and calling for a more equal distribution of wealth.
The British protesters say they are also angry about the government’s spending cuts, tax rises, public health reforms and higher tuition fees for university students.
